Online degree - Master's (public health) vs MBA? Graduate from top college vs not so good graduate school?
(1) I intend to stay in the healthcare finance industry. Which graduate degree will be more beneficial for my career development (and possibly higher income) -- getting a master's (in public health) or MBA? (2) For my undergrad degree, I graduated from a top national college. There are more nationally reputable online master's programs than online MBA programs. Is it better to have the "name" than the type of graduate degree (MBA vs MPH)?

The MBA gives you the biggest bang for the buck. In other words, you get the most money back for every dollar you spend on a MBA. So, a MBA is more valuable that a regular Master's degree. If you're going to get a MBA, you should definitely go to a top college. As far as online degrees go, a lot of employers do not respect them. I would stay away from online universities - unless it was backed by a top university (e.g. - NYU Online, UPenn Wharton Online courses, etc.)

Average pay for all Physician Assistants (no s at the end of Physician) is about $78,000 nationwide. Pay varies by specialty and location of practice. An MPH or any other Master's degree really does mean much as far as salary, in the beginning. It does make you more marketable which may lead to getting a job easier. You have to understand that no matter what letters come after the PA-C, you are still a brand new grad and have a lot to learn. Later on, the Master's might help...a little.

Is getting a Masters in public health gonna help me get into medical school
Is getting a Masters in public health gonna help me get into medical school?
If not, what kind of jobs can I expect to find with a MPH? I'm looking at this as a backup, in case I don't get into Medical school..

No because the MPH is directed towards those that want to be administrators of a large clinic or a hospital.

The question is, do you want to work in public health administration, or do you want to become a doctor? It is definitely possible to get your master's in public health then choose attend medical school. Many people who didn't do as well during their undergraduate years decide to get Master's degrees and then apply to medical school as a mechanism of raising their application GPA. However, if you do not need the boost, you are adding years to an already long road if you choose to do so. Many medical schools offer joint Masters/MD, or PhD/MD programs. It just depends on what you want your career to be. I recommend looking into some of these programs.
