Help picking school for Health Education undergrad

I didn't realize how many different careers were related. I need to learn a lot more. 

I'm probably not going to bother with another Bachelor's (BSBA will be my first). 

An MPH may be the best, because it's not going to pin me down in a specific area. I'm interested in the Education aspect, but now I see others that look good too. It seems a lot better to keep the options open.

It seems like half of the higher paying careers need a hard science degree or medical license, are managerial positions, or involve regular public speaking. I want to avoid those, but I think I would have some good options left. 

There seem to be jobs requiring skills in research, writing, marketing. Maybe IT or design? I haven't had a change to look a lot. And then the jobs like social work which are mostly lower paying, but mostly good.

I have a lot of interest in health. I'm good with learning IT, but some types aren't very interesting. It seems like most of my knowledge/experience is health, business, IT, psych, and some social work type activities and legal assisting. 

I used to be good at hard science and calculus I and maybe II, but now those seem so hard. I could learn some data science programming or math if it's worth it. I feel like I don't have a lot of time to reach my goals.
