Urban Public Health/Community Health Education?

Jade Ohno: I work in public health, and it pays my bills quite nicely. But it's not a big moneymaker, and you will NEVER be rich from a career in public health. Public health is a field you get into because you want to help people.

I enjoyed by stint in health ed very much. But you're not likely to ever make more than $60k doing it, unless you are director of a non-profit or some kind of high-level administrative position.

So ask yourself what matters more: a LOT of money, or just enough money plus a little something for your soul?...Show more
