MPH at Brock University Worth it? (canada)

Discussion

so i got an offer yesterday at Brock for MPH, (canada) it's an online one year masters, and im trying to see if I will end up doing it . I love the purpose behind public health and its intersection between different parts of healthcare like determinants of health, environment, economics, etc like the whole holistic aspect, but i always hear about the job market in public health and how it's not good and underfunded and its hard to find jobs. But isnt that the case with all fields right now in Canada? even engineers can't find jobs. im truly passionate about the field of PH, but ive also heard that alot of the bigger MPH roles are taken by physicians or people with PhDs (is that true?), so I'm not sure if I should just pursue that.

So if anyone has done the Brock MPH program or generally MPH program, were you able to find good jobs? ive heard both sides where some people found 6 figure jobs, and some who couldnt.

the reason why i want to do Brock MPH specifically is that I will be out of the country during the duration of the program, and would like to do my practicum somewhere else in a different country for more humanitarian public health reasons, and since it's an online masters, I can do that. What I would hope to get out of it is ofcourse the knowledge, but also the ability to get hired postgrad, for examples 90-100K job, remote option? im not sure if that's possible though in the landscape of public health

any insight would be appreciated
