Health Educator

Health educators teach people about behaviors that promote wellness. They develop and implement strategies to improve the health of individuals and communities. They collect and analyze data to identify community needs prior to planning implementing, monitoring, and evaluating programs designed to encourage healthy lifestyles, policies, and environments. They also develop social marketing and media campaigns.

Salary:

     Health educators make about $41,830 annually.

Education:

     Health educators need to have a bachelor’s degree. Many employers require the CHES credential. Requirements for community health workers vary, although they typically have at least a high school diploma and must complete a brief period of on-the-job training. Some states have certification programs for community health workers.

Reflection:

No I would not want to be one because as I said before I am focused on another career that is much better and will make me happy in life.
