6 Careers Public Health Majors Can Get
Nutrigi

I have been a public health major for almost four years now, and I get the same question pretty often.

"So what can you do with that?"

Honestly please keep asking me because I still have no idea. I've looked into it a few times, and some things sound appealing, and some sound like things I'd have no idea what to do in. So in light of midterm week coming up, and my constant thoughts of dropping out increasing, I thought I'd make this list as some sort of motivation.


1. Health and Safety Engineer

Health and Safety Engineers work primarily in scientific and technical services, but are also employed in construction and with the government. Anything with engineer in the title is not gonna work for me. This will not be my job of choice. Next.

2. Environmental Scientist

Environmental Scientists protect both environmental and human health. Many do this through land reclamation after pollution or developing regulations the restrict air and soil pollution. Environmental Scientists do this through data collection, plan development, and sharing information with the government, business or the public. I would look into this, I'm totally into ~health.~

3. Health Care Administrator

A Healthcare Administrator supports a clinic, department or group of physicians by directing and coordination health services. The main goal of a Healthcare Administrator is to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services. Totally into this..I'm all about being the boss.

4/5. Biostatistician and Epidemiologist

I am currently taking both biostats and epidemiology. Neither are happening. Both hurt my soul.

6. Nutritionist

This I'm so into its not even funny. A nutritionist is a person who advises on matters of food and nutrition impacts on health. Hello future career!!

Public health majors rejoice. We are important, and we, too can save the day sometimes. Maybe I wont drop out...yet.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
