Answer 2

You can choose one path over the other and work exclusively in either social work or public health. Or you can find a job at the intersection of those fields such as advocacy for patients rights. It's impossible for me to give you ALL possible careers, but I can suggest a few.

HIV/AIDS Advocacy - you work on behalf of HIV patients to shape the policies that affect them, such as distribution of lower-cost HIV drugs. Or you can get counseling certification and work as an HIV counselor.

Children's Health Advocacy - work to help kids who have been harmed by drugs, abuse, disease, etc.

Geriatric Advocacy - work to help the elderly get health care, protect them from elder abuse, deal with hospice and palliative care issues, etc.
