Hey folks. I'm working on my DrPH and want to know the outlook for potential salaries. It's hard to find information because the degree tends to be for people who are already established in their career and have varying levels of experience. Any anecdotal info or salary data would be appreciated.
I have my MPH (Tufts, '12), and presently doing a combined DrPH with Peace Corps (University at Albany, SUNY, expected '16). It's much like the Masters International Program so I'm hoping to use the non-competitive employment benefit with the federal government once I'm finished. I have a couple years of full time work experience at Harvard, and was given an adjunct instructor position for masters and doctoral level coursework for epidemiology students at my present university. Figured this might be pertinent information since I at least have some work experience.
My MPH is in Global Health and DrPH is in Epidemiology/Leadership and Management tract. Just wondering how I measure up to DrPH professionals who are established. I'm worried because I'm relatively young for this degree (26 years old), and I feel like I will be competing against much older people with a lot more work experience, and will ultimately not see any improved salary outlook upon graduating. I would appreciate your input, thanks!
