Because the public health and fitness program is such a comprehensive one, your salary will depend on what aspect of the field you choose to work in, whether it’s health education, epidemiology, policy community outreach or something else. Your salary will also depend on your geographic location and education level. For example, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for epidemiologists was $69,450, while health educators earned an average of $51,960. Altogether, those who graduated with a degree in public health and fitness, whether they work in the public health and fitness field or not, earned an average of $70,820, at all levels (those just starting out to those who are late in their careers).
