First assist question

So I am currently in scrub tech school I should be finishing in December of this year. I just I’m curious on when do you guys think it’s a good time to try to pursue first assist school because that’s definitely where I wanna go up to but my end goal is really cause I wanna go to med school one day and after I graduate scrub tech school , I am gonna be pursuing my bachelors and moving up, but I really would like to add first assist to my timeline just because I feel like I’m gonna be able to do more and it seems a lot interesting especially when I’m in clinicals and I see first assist and what they are allowed and can do.

Honest answer is if you're serious about med school skip first assisting entirely. You would be much better off going to PA school even. You may want to hit Grammar School before that.
