I did my undergrad in public health and applied to a lot of jobs with no luck. My dream was to go into epidemiology but really, I would have been okay with any PH job for my first full-time job.

I’m currently working as a medical assistant and thinking about applying to an MPH/MBA program. I was wondering what people’s thoughts on job opportunities would be if I did that? I know an MBA would open up a lot paths for me but what else could I do to still pursue epidemiology? I considered nursing but I don’t think I’m cut out for it.

Edit: I do have a couple of public health data analysis internships under my belt from undergrad, if that makes any difference.
