Jobs in the Health Field

So when I looked up the different words a lot of jobs popped up. I looked at the most relevant ones, and looked at their requirements as well as job descriptions. Below are some of my findings:

Health Education
Assistant CEO for SOPHE
A masters degree in Public Health required, and CHES is preferred. This person would assist the CEO for SOPHE

Project Coordinator for SOPHE
Bachelor Degree in PH, CHES preferred.
designed projects in conjuntion with the CDC

Biostatistics
Research Analyst with Social and Scientific Systems Inc.
MS in Public Health required

Policy and Management
Environmental Health Manager for SOPHE
Masters in Public Health required (environmental emphasis)

Epidemiology
same as Biostatistics
Bachelors in public Health required

Community Health
Public Health Nutritionist for Kent County Michigan
BS in Nutrition or Dietetics

Health Disparities
Senior Policy Associate for Child Health for the Childrens Defense Fund
At least a Masters in Public Health or Public Policy

What I discovered was that a lot of the jobs I found required a masters degree. There were a few that only required a bachelors, and many preferred CHES. There were a ton of jobs listed for each of the searches, so it is obvious that our field is not lacking in the job market.
