Hello! I need help.
I graduated with a BSc. in Biology in 2020 and worked in Public Health from 2020 peak covid times to 2022. After the dip in covid, I couldn’t find any roles in Ontario, Canada which would accept my experience and lack of masters program. I’m also open to applying in the US but have no sense of direction as to where I can start in Public Health. I’m done with the low paying jobs .. please suggest how can I elevate my career ?

A lot of public health jobs in US want a masters degree and proficiency in healthcare informatics and / or SAS certification.

If you can start working on your masters through an online program, I would do that

It sounds like it might be time for you to go back to school and get that Masters, especially if you are trying to make more money. Its going to be really hard to find something higher paying if they are requiring a Masters and you don't have one.

I am honestly going through the same thing as you and I also have a BS in biology. It’s not any easier here in the US it’s hard to get a job anywhere now :(

Been saying it for a while now but a bachelors is a high school diploma now. Every position that’s worth anything requires a masters at a minimum. Sucks.

I am in the same boat in the US. The funding pendulum has swung in other directions from PH. The private healthcare sector by and large keeping a skeleton crew. Everyone is over the moon that the stock market is high, but that is because several waves of layoffs have reduced costs and boosted stock prices in the short-term. It is now difficult to find work in the US. The jobs are there, but you have to network your way into a position.

Back to school asap!

Hi Guys,

They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
