what's your masters in? |
public health... but the issue is that I don't want
to work in what seems to be the stereotypical public health job.. which
are community health centers and even hospitals.. I realize that I
should've figured that out before investing my time and money into a
degree but whatever.. you live and you learn.. so i am talking to people
and researching other ways to use my degree in something I like slash
in an environment I like.. if that makes sense |
You kinda caused this situation yourself. You're
getting a degree in public health but you don't want a public health
job. Not only that but you don't want to move away from home.
But you could go into consulting.
|
Consultants usually have years and years of experience under their belts.
OP,
you should try getting a "stereotypical" public health Job to gain
experience, build up your resume, and network. Who knows, you might find
a position that is more suited to you later on.
And sorry, moving to Canada is not a viable option right now. |
that is not true. consulting firms hired undergrads from my school all the time |
Your right, I was thinking about something else.

It's a very common undergraduate degree to prepare for law school. That's why I did it. For that and teaching. But I don't want to teach history necessarily.

I am sure you already have but have you looked into health agencies programs the CDC/HHS has the Emerging leaders programs for people with Masters degrees. Have you looked into jobs as Public Health Analyst or Public Health Advisors. Alot of times they have jobs where you are assigned to a state or go overseas.
Our Director is big on hiring fresh minds. |
I checked that out.. but i'll monitor it more.. i also applied to some boston gov jobs as well..which are mostly program managing positions for specific projects.. though its not something i'd wanna stay in but the experience would be great!
Thanks!

If you're just graduating, there are lots of recruitment programs for the federal government, such as in the Depts. of Health & Human Services and Labor (OSHA).

Consulting is a good option, especially if you like the business side of things. Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, etc all hire undergrads from my school ALL the time. I study health policy and plan to go to law school when I graduate. I eventually want to work in legislation or as an attorney, whichever manifests first
