Ugh sometimes people make me want to punch their smug little faces. My sister in law is about to graduate and she is really proud of herself (and she absolutely deserves to be) but people keep shitting on her about it. I know a big part of it is that many people have no clue what a physicians assistant is but why would your response to someone excitedly talking about graduating med school be to comment on how they aren't a doctor. Fucking hell, she took on tons of debt, worked like crazy, and absolutely excelled but people are making her feel like a failure because she decided that she wanted to be a PA and not a doctor because PAs actually get to focus more on the patient and don't really have to worry about the business side of medicine.

At least she is going to be working somewhere that really respects PAs so she will be respected by her coworkers and her family understands what she will be doing and couldn't be more proud of her.
