Considering getting an MBA/MPH instead of just an MBA. How much will that impact job opportunities?

MPH won’t help you much especially if you stick with consulting

No help if it’s for consulting. Spend the extra hours networking and case prepping if that is your goal.

I got an MHA a few years back and consulting only seems to care about an MBA.. which is weird, because healthcare doesn’t operate like a normal business.
MBA/MPH would be useful perspective, regardless of what consulting biz currently pays for. There is value in understanding the dysfunction that is Healthcare in America.

With those credentials, Walmart will hire you right away as a greeter. If you play your cards right, job opportunities may even open up for blockbuster

If I’m lucky

I have an MPH and it definitely adds perspective in health care. I think it’s impactful in the federal or state and local side because I support public health agencies and work on policies. It also gives flexibility to do things outside of management consulting...
