[quote=Anonymous]I have no idea about your field or job prospects but the sooner you get a job the better I imagine. Switching from your field into international development work will be hard without the skills they look for in HQ type roles, but the bio medical angle will be a way in, like in the WHO or the NGOs that have big public health programs in building labs, diagnosis and testing. Research the big fat USAID grants that are out there around your field and see who got the contracts. As someone said, data skills are very much in demand, so stats, and skills in epidemiology and programs such as SPSS are important to have, so maybe a MPH with a focus on this area would work well for you. Or not even a MPH, a certificate or something. The bigger the gap between graduating and work, the harder it gets. [/quote]
