You will make whatever people are willing to pay you. I can tell you that it is highly unlikely you will be paid $80,000 a year though. If you really want to become an economist, you need to find an internship in economics. If you can't make that work, get an internship with a financial company in which you analyze data. If you can't do that, then get ANY internship or ANY job. You will need to work your way up to a position that pays $80,000. It may take 5 years, it may take 10. $80,000 is a very good job. You will be expected to have experience as an economist, maybe a certification, knowledge of computer software programs, and to have excellent communication skills both verbal and written, analytical skills, and problem solving skills. Final recommendation: Keep your eyes open for any job that will allow you to use your skills. Don't let opportunities pass you by, because you want to be a health economist. It is a very specialized field that is EXTREMELY rare. Here is a job that is in Maryland. It seems they require a Phd for work that is this complicated. http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?IPath=QHKCV0D&ff=21&APath=2.21.0.0.0&job_did=J3I03H6HBGVQX20W7P1 You should search Careerbuilder, Indeed, Monster, etc. for positions in your area to get a better idea of what they will require of you. If the masters in public health is a research degree, you might want to try to be a researcher somewhere. Whatever you do, don't quit your day job. Good Luck!

master of Public Health, accredtied schools
master of Public Health, accredtied schools?
Hi, I'm a college student who's interested in MPH (master of public health) program. I woner why some good school swith MPH program are not on the US NEWS rank. For instance, UC Sandiego, USC, UC Irvine, UC Davis.. those 4 schools are not affiliated to some blah blah organization and not on the US NEWS public health rank. (I really wanna go california for grad school) But there are schools like Loma Linda, San Diego State Univ that are not very famous. What should I choose? Is it really important to get to a affiliated or accredited schools?

Don't get too caught up with USnews rankings. Go where it's accredited and where you are happy. San Diego State also offers a joint PhD with UC San Diego in Public Health - Epidemiology emphasis. Good luck!

McGill but it is the hardest one to get into.

I'm quite sure that U of T's MPA program is pretty top notch. I'm not sure what it's entrance standards are like, but U of T has excellent resources when it comes to studying health care, whether it's administration or practical - so look into it.

University of Toronto,Public Health Science check out the link below for information http://www.phs.utoronto.ca/prog_biostat_phd.asp

I have just applied to the University of Waterloo to do my Masters of Public Health. They actually offer it as a distance education program so you can do it full-time or part-time from home...which is great (don't know how I could offered it if I couldn't keep my job). I have heard some really great things about this program and Waterloo has a great reputation. Their deadline for 08-09 has passed but if your're considering it the next deadline will be Feb 09. For more info go to: http://www.ahs.uwaterloo.ca/hsg/mph/index.html Good luck!

Should I go to nursing school or get a master's in public health
Should I go to nursing school or get a master's in public health?
I'm a psychology major, business minor in college, and I'll be graduating in a year. I am really interested in health care, specifically public health. Most of the graduate public health programs I've looked at prefer people with experience in the healthcare field already (nurses, doctors, allied health people). I could go into nursing... but I'm kind of hesitant, because I know that being just a regular hospital floor nurse definitley isn't what I want to do and I'm afraid of getting stuck doing that kind of work. So I guess right now, I'm torn on whether I should just pursue a master's degree in public health anyway, or get a second bachelor's degree in nursing, and become a public health nurse (and then maybe get an MPH in the future)? Which is the best route?

You could always try being a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) for a year or two. A lot of hospitals and univesities will hire peole with BA/BS degrees to work with patients for studies. Usually you do a lot of patient recruitment, schedule appointments, store and organize data, and sometimes they get to administer tests. Psychology is a good major for that. I'd advise that you try to gain some experience in a clinical or experimental lab. After working as a CRA for a year or two, you could then apply to MPH programs. You could also try applying and seeing what happens, but some hands-on experience is recommended.
