Considering PA school

Hi so currently an echo tech of 5 years Im currently a travel tech. Ive enjoyed my career so far however ive been contemplating on going back to school to be a PA however i know PA school will be extensive and hard. The more i think about it the more i realize I enjoy the patient care side and ultimately would wanna be more involved in the process to help the patient get better.. im 30 years old. Can someone help give insight if its a good move. How is the day to day activities, and whats the pay look like.. hows the work/ home life balance? Just looking for some insight
