Health educators work to help individuals and groups of people improve their health.
They begin by diagnosing the health needs of a group or an individual. Then they design programs to help the individuals and groups meet their needs. These programs may require the health educator to teach classes and make presentations, design pamphlets, counsel individuals, organize community groups. Entry level positions require a four-year degree from a college offering a health education curriculum. Typically, entry level health educators make approximately as much money as teachers.
