The scope of public health is quite broad. It can range from health policy, to epidemiology, to health education, to international health,...and the list goes on. The pay ranges depending on what it is that you are planning to do with your MPH. I think first you need to decide on what exactly are you interested in? Why did you decide to apply for a MPH?

Your question is very broad in scope and all that I can tell you is that it varies greatly. Take a look at this page, the Public Health Employment Connection, and it will give you an idea of the types of jobs that are available, in addition to salary ranges.

From what I've seen, there are more job opportunities in Epidemiology. The website that Heal&Teach referred you to is great for seeing what types of jobs are out there.
