Salary: $ 41,830

Education: In order to become a health educator you must have a Bachelor’s degree in health promotions or health education. They also must complete a program that teaches students theories and methods of health education. If you want to work in a federal or state government agency you must have a masters or doctoral degree.

Reflection: I wouldn’t want to become a health educator because it’s a lot of work that you must put in to become one and if you want to win more money and work in a federal agency you must work even harder to obtain your master’s degree. It takes a lot of time to complete this and you still have to take training for a while and I just want to get a job that you can complete fast.
