New Grad considering IH but have a few concerns
Hey all! I am a recent grad with an B.S. in the environmental sciences and realized a lot of my interests align with human health, biological sciences, and helping people. I am considering doing a masters in IH, especially with the funding out there for ERCs.
However, family and friends have stated concerns about the field being over saturated with technicians w/o degrees limiting earning potential with a Masters, the salary outlook, higher earning roles being taken by Senior Engineers, and the field being “rough for a lady”.
Any insight on the above ideas would be deeply helpful, thanks!
