How long does it take to become a physicians assistant?

Question

and how much do they make?

Answer 1

3 or 4 years. It depends which school you went. At least $ 25 per hour. And its also depend which doctor you work for.  

Answer 2

The trend & majority of schools for PA is at the masters level--so 2 years after a bachelors & health care work experience.  The mean pay is around $78,000.  But that does depend on where you work (clinic, hospital, private practice etc), what specialty, what area of the country, the hours, your duties, your experience, etc. I make $50/hour in California & Maryland.
