From the Financial Sector to Trauma PA; an Interview with “The Finance Fellow”
Today we talk finances with Mike “The Finance Fellow”. Mike writes a blog (www.thefinancefellow.com) about his journey from the financial world to now being a Trauma PA, discussing all different types of financial info for pre-PAs, current PA students, and practicing PAs. We cover a ton of information in this episode, for everyone from pre-PA students choosing schools and obtaining loans, living frugally in school, and how to balance paying student loans and retirement contributions.
Here’s more of what we discussed:
- Mike’s path from finance to PA
