What You'll Do: The job entails: assessing a client's medical history, reviewing a client's typical diet or menu to understand what the problem is, revising the menu to achieve the client's goal, educating the client about how to achieve a specific goal and how to eat healthy in general, attending public events to promote healthy eating, participating in lab tests to study the effects of foods, and engaging in ongoing research about food and nutrition.

Dietitians can be employed in a variety of work settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, dining halls, government buildings, and private homes. However, you could also be the owner of your own practice. As far as work environment goes, much of your day is likely spent in an office setting, but you could also find yourself in cafeterias, kitchens, or laboratories. Full-time work with a regular schedule is most common for nutrition experts, but those who run their own businesses should have more flexibility. Some travel may be required to meet clients in their homes or places of business.

Education and Training: The most common path to becoming a dietitian is obtaining a bachelor's degree in dietetics or nutrition. Those who have degrees in food service management or other related fields may also be considered for the job. The formal schooling primarily covers the natural sciences. Most programs culminate in a supervised internship or community volunteer experience lasting several months to build real-world skills.

Licensure is mandatory for practice in the majority of states, and the highly-desired "RD" designation is given by the Commission on Dietetic Registration after passing a standardized exam.

The Future: The Dietitian profession is expected to grow at about 20% through 2020.

The Pay: Annual salaries for Dietitians and Nutritionists in the U.S. range from $33,300 to $75,400, with the average median annual wage hitting $54,400 in 2011 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
