Average pay for all Physician Assistants (no s at the end of Physician) is about $78,000 nationwide. Pay varies by specialty and location of practice. An MPH or any other Master's degree really does mean much as far as salary, in the beginning. It does make you more marketable which may lead to getting a job easier. You have to understand that no matter what letters come after the PA-C, you are still a brand new grad and have a lot to learn. Later on, the Master's might help...a little.
