Hello everyone! I'm 24 years old and graduated from UCLA last summer with a degree in psychology. Throughout my life, I've harbored a strong passion for food, health, and nutrition. While I enjoy psychology, I’m not as enthusiastic about it as a career, except perhaps for becoming a marriage and family therapist in the future because I love helping people navigate difficult relationships.
However, my true passion lies in nutrition. I genuinely enjoy assisting others with their dietary choices and leading a healthy lifestyle. Although I haven't directly interacted with nutritionists or registered dietitians, I've learned a lot about the field from my nutrition professor, who is also a registered dietitian.
This year, I worked as a culinary instructor for children, but I feel like I'm not progressing in my higher education. My parents have expressed concerns about pursuing a career in nutritional science, suggesting that registered dietitians don’t earn much, especially living in Los Angeles.
I would love to hear from registered dietitians, particularly those based in California. Are you satisfied with your work? Do you feel undercompensated? What can I expect from this career? If you could go back to being 24 with the knowledge you have now, would you still choose this path? Thank you for your insights!
