Master of Public Health Degree in Community Health Education, wise choice or not?

Background- I wish to apply for an MPH degree in the United States for FALL 2016. Btw I don’t hail from the United States.

The deadlines to apply have already passed for most colleges. Now I’m left with only 2 safe colleges that I want to apply to based on my preferences.
I’m planning to apply to San Francisco State Univ and San Jose State Univ for MPH with CONCENTRATION in COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION (CHE).

I’m confused whether to apply for MPH in CHE or not? Should I wait until Fall 2017 to apply to other colleges with MPH in other concentrations? Are the salaries in CHE good? Are CHE candidates equally considered for employability as candidates from other concentrations of MPH? And are there any biases towards candidates with degree from an elite school (eg. preference given to ivy league candidates)?
Note: As I’m an international student, I wont be eligible for jobs in Government Sector in USA.
