What do you believe are the best options for a career in Public Health

Good evening,
I want a career in Public Health and have been thinking of studying Microbiology or Public Health as a major. I am not sure on whether I should major in Microbiology and get a Master’s in Public health, or study Public Health and get a Master’s in Epidemiology. What do you guys think?

ps. I want a research focused career.

It seems to be a good option, but you should give importance is your interest towards the topic. Choose the one that matches well for your interests and hence the remaining tasks are all become so easy.
