Please identify the best and not so good things about the AA career

[Thomas]

I currently am looking into transitioning to career as an
Anesthesiologist Assistant (Anesthetist). My question is for an
Anesthesiologist Assistant, Nurse Anesthetist or Anesthesiologist
working in the field: Please identify the best things about a
profession in anesthesiology, and the things you do not like in the
field (employment opportunities, work conditions, work interference
with personal life, stress)? Please email me at wizar...@yahoo.com .
I will greatly appreciate your help and assistance.

How do you become an AA?  First, you will need to obtain a baccalaureate degree preferably in a science related field (but this is not mandatory). What is mandatory for being considered for the AA program is completing the medical prerequisites (English, General Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, General physics, Calculus) with above average grades.
