First of all, stop saying low so many times; it makes you sound incredibly condescending. The jobs you are referring to are actual jobs that some people do for a living.

Second, they do expect you to get experience in the field before applying. For many schools, volunteering work at the hospital might not even cut it. What that means is that you’d have to apply to be an emt or something while in school if you don’t want to take that gap year. And another thing, your major is irrelevant to getting these experience. Unless you are going to a trade school, no major is going to give you medical experience that pa program wants you to have.
