Is Public Health a good path ?

[u/Short-Worldliness297]

If there anyone who is currently doing there bsc or mph in public health or a proffessional, please kindly share your insights and experiences.They'll be really worth for me.

I got a job as an epi right out of grad school (non-MPH) in May making a good amount (for me, at least) and even then I generally don't recommend it as a path.

Not because I dislike the field but because aside from the happenings in the US right now, I feel like there are far more public health grads than there are public health jobs. Like, if you're dedicated and this is the only thing you could see yourself doing, then yeah, I guess, but if you're just kinda half considering it I wouldn't recommend it because it'd likely be more trouble than it's worth
