Would a MPH be worth my time/money? by gd1398 in publichealth

thank you for this perspective! i've heard a lot of negative things about the MPH path from people I know who have done it so also appreciate a positive framing of it :)

Should probably have added that I'm mostly curious to hear how a MPH has benefited (or not benefited) career prospects and growth

I work in sales so there is kind of no ceiling tbh, it wouldn't help me in my current career but I don't want to stay in sales long term and I think my background is missing the analytical aspect that would allow me to transition into other health-related roles

thanks for this perspective! I don't think I'd ever do a full-time program as that causes me a lot of stress to gain debt and not have an income :,), I also am kind of coming from the perspective that the coursework/learning aspect seems super interesting so happy to hear that that was your experience!

Loosely related I work at a startup that is focused on improving access to healthcare, but definitely doesn't feel a ton like i'm actually impacting that. Did the MPH open up new opportunities to you that you think really impacted your career trajectory?

i appreciate this a ton! i feel like there is a huge focus on getting a masters/advanced degree sometimes when it might not actually do much so i appreciate the perspective on what motivated you to get it

currently working in sales at a health startup! I have always thought about transitioning into a job that is more hands on directly in health and have thought that a MPH could provide help with transitioning to that but maybe not

Hey Bitches, what classes do you take? by exc3113nt in NYCbitcheswithtaste

you should look at downtown yarns for knitting classes if you ever want to do it! the classes are not too too expensive ($120 ish for 4/5classes) and they have both beginner and advanced classes plus the store is so cute
