What is a career in Human
Nutrition all about...
"If you want a career that is
exciting, challenging, and allows you to succeed, excel, and feel good
about what you do, then consider the field of dietetics.
Dietetics is the high-tech science of
applying food and nutrition to health. It's a vital, growing field open to
creativity and opportunity--and the possibilities are endless.
Health, nutrition, and fitness have become
a way of life. People want to feel good and look good. Eating right for a
healthier lifestyle and learning about good nutrition are top priorities,
and people are eager to learn even more. These changes mean increased
opportunities in the field of dietetics.
Dietetics professionals work in healthcare,
education and research. They work in sales, marketing and public
relations. Registered dietitians and dietetic technicians also work in
government, restaurant management, fitness, food companies, and in private
practice. The direction you take, and how far you take it, are your
choices."
