So You Want to Study What Works?

You’re in luck. Marty Nemko at Kiplinger predicts that Program Evaluator will be one of the top careers in the next decade.

Criteria for selection included:

  • Likelihood of sustaining at least a middle-class income
  • Socially redeeming
  • Quality of life
  • Status

Oh, the status of a program evaluator!

Also on the list is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist and Health-Informatics Specialist. Is he right? I don’t know, but my tasks this week have included prepping for a public health informatics workshop that I will teach this weekend, studying for my psychology licensing exam, and helping to manage an impact evaluation in Uganda.

Judging by the comments on this article, I should not be too excited. The most common response is “Really?” and “WTF?” Marty, next time consider burying “Federal-Government Manger” around #10. Not a great lead in.
