Completely agree!

I just graduated from high school and got accepted to study dietetics but I still don’t know if I made the right decision.

why is lack of diversity a problem? move on.

True my dear i face the same, i am thinking to do add one short course or masters in psycology to change better people mind

You were scammed. You're not helping people, the 'Nutrition & Dietetic' as it is presented is not working. Otherwise why are you fat?

Wow this was my dream career

I chose CNS instead of dietetics because personalized nutrition model is more effective.

Why is the food in rehabs so bad? Do they use an RD? I feel so bad for our patients. Our snacks and foods are fried, processed, canned and we lack variety and color. :( If one became a RD, could you change that systemically? I dont get how any RD approves the food we give out.

Lack of Diversity is not a con. Diversity is a racist agenda

I am currently a nutrition and dietetics student in NC. Our tuition isnt that high and a lot of these cons you listed are for students who intend to do the masters degree and become a registered dietitian. There are a lot of nutrition options that don’t require you to become a registered dietitian and they don’t require so much schooling. I am pursuing the DTR requirement. What you said is true but may not apply to everyone.

I was doing the online dietetics program at Alabama, and I experienced a lot of racism as a hispanic woman. The professors bullied me out of the program. I ended up completing a Masters, getting my NASM Nutrition Coach certification, and currently working on my Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) credential. Going this route was the best decision I ever made. I was able to work full time while completing my clinical hours under supervision. I test in June, and I will continue with my DCN ❤ this fall.

They aren’t open enough about the cons from the beginning. At one point one of my professors said, “I hope none of you are in this for the money”.. and at the time I wasn’t. But life happens and you need money to survive. Also, you aren’t really “not having a paycheck for a year”, it’s more like you have to PAY to work. It’s an internship that you need to PAY for. Plus, the additional requirement of the masters makes more like 2 years at this point.

I regret studying nutrition lol I feel like it's only for people who have parents that can support through their training and schooling. Besides the low pay, etc.

I have completed my Bachelor in ECE and currently working in IT job for 3 years. I wish to do Masters in Clinical Nutrition Do you think that's possible? And if so would the pay be good or really low as my Bachelor is another stream ?

That's cold they taking so much.. God bless 🙏

Did you have to take calculus and organismic chemistry, microbiology ? Like did you have to take the same challenging classes that are required for medical school

My cousin is a Mexican American practitioner in the field and she said she thinks it’s mainly white women because usually they are the ones that can afford 1 year without pay. Makes sense.

You kind of look like Kylie Jenner

As a MD student and group personal trainer I realize you have to tell patients what SALT really actually IS and WHY eating it is FATAL!!! ANYTHING in crystal form is bad for you! Don't have to go into too much chem just be brief and precise. After that move on to the next patient....

They don’t want us to heal thru food.

I feel that as an RD the areas are all similar. No matter what you do this job is tedious. Worst is that you truly want to help the patient or client and they don’t do the work. I have been lucky to have jobs that pays well but the dietitian pay sucks.

Lol, the break in part. But ya i totally agree processed salt, processed sugar, maltodextrin should be criminally illegal, tbh.

Girl where did ur videos go

heylo

Thank you so mush for your honesty really appreciate it ❤

Sooo is it worth it???........ specially when it comes to salary?

I'm interested in the secondary fields since California's new requirement is an MS

3:20 my mom said something similar! She was about to see a new dentist, but saw he didn’t have “perfect teeth” so switched dentists 😂

Funny you say that because I’m a health enthusiast and I want to take nutrition so that people will take me more seriously. I hope they would listen to me if I’m accredited.

Thank you so much !

Tried to find update on you...even checked IG. Hope you're ok.

I’m starting this semester and I’m a little scared because of all the chemistry and biology classes, never been good in science, need some encouragement. :(

thanks for being so real. I watched many of these videos but this has to be my favorite

Your opinions are based on false statements. You’re basing your opinions on debunked information decades old. Get current before leading people into metabolic weeds. Start by reading Jason Fung’s book “The Obesity Code”. Limiting salt is NOT the cure for blood pressure!! Limiting fat is NOT the cure for obesity. “You can’t make them” and they “don’t listen” because you’ve learned WRONG DOGMA.

I came to the internet because i just spent 10 years to become a dietitian and made the 100k mistake. Wish i had never done it. Nurses with AS make double and jobs are endless for them.

You are such a beautiful person 💕💕💕💕

so what you’re saying is stop pursuing this and run away?😭

Thank you so much for this video

salt out of the pantry got me...i totally get you

was my dream career but seems like it has more cons than pros thank you for the video!

people who are living europe countries can get jobs easily in fields of Nutrition but here in pakistan bro you have to set your own clinic because there isn't any job for you i'm running my own page but sometime i think o have wasted 7 years of my life for this field

Look into motivational interviewing, what food deserts are and food access inequality. May help reduce some of your distress

I am interested in this field but I am not good with blood and cringe while watching medical-related shows. Do you think I can still pursue this career despite this?

This was my dream career but I can’t go through 100k debt at this point in my life nor not get paid for a year. Thanks for the information

You look like Kylie Jenner

My biggest frustration is that we are constantly proving our worth to other medical professionals. It's honestly insulting at this point... Plus insurance sucks.

Wow! In Italy I had scholarship so I actually got paid to do my BSc and MSc :) but the exam to become RN is expensive: 200 euro!

ADORED your video! You are so sincere 😊❣

Thank you for making this video. My girlfriend is looking for any opportunities to work as a nutritionist in U.S., because I'm going to study for PhD abroad and she's going with me. She already has a nutritionist certificate in Taiwan, but we realized it is not recognized by U.S. and will have to pass the master program and complete the training before getting a nutritionist job. From your video it seems impossible. It is just too expensive! Hmm...anyway, thanks for sharing these information with us. This is very helpful and now we can move forward...maybe try to learn other skills :( Thank you.

Im very passionate about working with animals,but also nutrition. I want to do holistic nutrition 1 on 1 work woth clients. but Im not sure what to do because I want to work with animals too.
