" PA is no way close to a doctor and won’t be paid off accordingly, "
Depends on what your income requirements are and what kind of debt you want to incur.
My daughter works in family med and does everything the doc does. Sure, she’s paid less, but at over 80K a year and less than 15K educational debt left, she’s perfectly happy. Some of her friends in medical specialties have started out at 100K or more.
