Evaluating health communication

As usual, this week's class was great. We learned about evaluating health campaigns and the cycle of evaluation-- Very simple...Will this campaign work? Is it working? and did it Work? We learned about ROI and Dr. Engelberg touched on the fact that although most public health specialists work to "make the world a better place," we shouldn't be afraid to admit we want to make money. My thoughts exactly! My goal--- help others by preventing obesity but make a ton of money doing it :)
Dr. Engelberg also discussed employment opportunities after graduation. There are so many possibilities that I am interested in. Working in a hospital-- promoting and shaping hospital based hp programs, working for County Health Services, and working for ad agencies with health accounts are all careers that I'd love to have. I never ever thought I'd say it, but even continuing to work in research is appealing!! (Oh how SDSU has changed me!) Next lecture is our very last class. Tear.
