What healthcare experience is easiest to get without any further education to become a Physician Assistant?
Can you answer lisa p's question about Healthcare?:
I already have a B.S. in Biochemistry and have worked as pharmacy technician for 4 months. I really needs some ideas on healthcare experience that doesnt require more school and possibly something that pays too.
I would like to apply to get a Masters as a P.A.

I think lots of PA schools will recognize your experience as a pharmacy technician. Maybe volunteer at a hospital to show you know what it's like to be in a hospital.
I believe you cannot be certified as a PA without a degree in PA. There is a big emphasis on clinical skills, which is what your background is lacking. You might seek a position as a lab tech (much more than that of a pharma tech) in a government or private research lab.
