Trying to decide between 2 MA jobs as a pre-PA student:

1. Pediatric/Allergy MA in Manhattan (Upper West Side) — $23/hr, but ~1 hour train commute each way
2. Dermatology MA — $19/hr, only a 5 minute walk from my house

I’m mainly looking for good clinical experience, work-life balance, and something that will help me long-term for PA school. Both are full-time and I’m torn between higher pay/specialty interest vs convenience/quality of life. Which would you pick and why?
