I’m starting my MPH soon, going in without a committed concentration at first. I’m interested in both epidemiology as well as the management & policy side of public health. With that being said, I’m trying to be strategic about choosing a career path, keeping in mind job availability/options and ROI on obtaining the degree. I’d love to hear from people in either Epi or the management/policy side on their job search, career path and earning potential! Thanks!
