Confused between taking another shot to medicine (to become an Anesthesia doctor) or persuing the available Anesthesia Nurse.

Hey everyone, hope you're doing great

I really need advice from advanced medical students and doctors especially specialists and anyone who's familiar with the medical field in Algeria.

So i'm in my late 20s, have a master's degree in a specialty that i didn't like and worked for quite a while, i always wanted to be an Anesthesia doctor i think their job is cool but i didn't have the courage i guess to retake my baccalauréat.

I did this year and it went very bad cause i didn't prepare and scored a 16.32/20 which is 0.01 away from the minimal requirement for medicine.

I chose to pursue the new master's degree in anesthesia sciences that the ministry of health announced under the career name of personal of anesthesia (Personel d'Anesthésie de Santé Publique PASP), i was accepted into that 5 years program, but i saw online some people referring to it as just an assistant like you're always under the umbrella of the Anesthesia doctor which is disturbing for me honestly, i didn't find more informations cause it's recent but i found out that the old profession was called AMAR (auxiliaire médical en anesthésie et réanimation) that was only available to nurses trough an entry exam + 2 years of training which from the name sounds like just an assistant.

Now i'm stuck between letting the master's of anesthesia go and applying for baccalauréat again so i can enter medical school especially that i'm not 18yo anymore and i'm old + spend another 11 years old to arrive to that Anesthesia doctor spot or just accept L and take the garenteed job, but i'm a bit skeptical on the second choice cause i honestly don't like to be an assistant.

Hope you'll help me clear my thoughts and make the best choice and maybe even reconsider the just assistant part if someone has solid information, I'll really appreciate it.
