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!
