Sight saving messages that prevent or cure
blindness. Health saving knowledge about immunization campaigns where children receive life long protection from life threatening diseases. And there are times when our skills are employed for more mundane issues like the dissemination of an improved pit latrine design. Simple ways of solving old problems in a healthier and more agreeable manner.

Few forms of mass communication are more rewarding than public health. It is highly specialized and yet uses exactly the same tools and techniques as commercial advertising. When faced with the choice of saving someone’s precious sight or selling more sodas, I for one have little hesitation.

Clearly we do not practice this limited segment of our professions for the money. Selling sodas pays a lot more for exactly the same if not less work. Saving sight or a small child’s future is simply more rewarding. Personally rewarding, in a way that money or fancy corporate titles can and never will be.
