^This. You don’t need to be “passionate” about your job, and the truth is, most working adults aren’t. Most of us work a job that we like reasonably well, with coworkers that we like reasonably well. The job has many tasks we enjoy and some we don’t. But it gives us the money necessary to support ourselves, our families and enjoy our hobbies and interests in the evenings and weekends.
PA is a great career for that! PAs make good salaries - they average $90-100K per year. The career is in high demand and highly portable, meaning that you can work wherever you want in the U.S. and still make good money, and demand will only increase over the next years. Most PAs work in physician’s offices, which means that they work pretty much 9-5 hours seeing patients about basic primary care issues. That leaves you with flexibility on your evenings and weekends to do what you want - including pursue music as a hobby. About a quarter of PAs work in hospitals, which would mean longer shifts (probably 3 12-hour shifts per week) and on-call work. That’s a little more stressful, but could offer you 4 days off per week.
And, if you decide you hate it, you can always do something else. Former healthcare practitioners can be in demand in public health, in consulting, in health insurance. You could do research. You could get a master’s in PA and teach PA classes.
But even if you don’t love it it could still be a great career for you if you are content in it.
