Doctor or PA? Professional opinions preferred!?

It's my sophomore year of college, and it's time the bite the damn bullet and decide before I get too far in. I'm a declared Kinesiology major with a Pre-Health Care emphasis. This major could either a) take me into med school, or b) take me into PA school...trust me, I've seen the prerequisites for all my schools of choice.

About me:
-I've wanted to be a trauma surgeon since 7th grade, and am kind of wondering if I'm just telling myself that I still want to do that now.
-I am also paying for every single credit I take on my own.
-I am from Colorado, and hate the place, so I would always be out-of-state unless residency only requires 1 year for the specific state. I am taking a year off after graduation.
-Undergraduate GPA: 3.92, High School GPA: 4.00+
-ACT: 33, SAT: n/a, AP credits: 19
-Currently holding 2 jobs (university chemistry study group leader, front desk clerk at a hotel), in addition to being the co-executive producer to a film series
-I'm allergic (yes, actually allergic) to alcohol, which means organic chemistry labs will either be impossible or rather difficult/involved.
-Personality: Cool and collected, budgets time well, perfectionist, likes having a lot of things to do, likes to take charge but also have someone to confirm decisions are made well, strong leader, likes consensus among peers

I would love someone's opinion based on these stats, in addition to any advice or resources that may be available to me to help me make my choice. Thanks!
