Maybe you\u2019re a faithful food label reader. Maybe you love to experiment with recipes. Maybe you love the challenge of planning a meal that\u2019s both delicious and nutritious. Maybe you\u2019re just really interested in good food.<\/span>
\u00a0
Or maybe you\u2019re interested in healthy eating AND feel called to work as a professional who can help <\/span>other<\/span><\/i> people learn to eat healthier foods that will help them feel better and live longer.<\/span>
\u00a0
If so, a career in dietetics<\/span> may be right for you. It\u2019s fantastic opportunity to make a good living doing something that you love.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/p>\n

How Much Demand is There for Dietetics?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0
Future dietitians and dietetic technicians, we have some good news for you. Dietetics<\/span> is a field that\u2019s ripe with potential growth!<\/span>
\u00a0
In fact, experts are very optimistic about job prospects for dietitians and nutritionists in the near future. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is predicting a 15% job growth rate between 2016 and 2026, which they have dubbed \u201cmuch faster than average.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>
\u00a0
The job outlook for dietetic technicians also looks promising. Dietetic technicians work in hospitals, nursing facilities, and long-term care facilities. They typically work under the supervision of a registered dietitian<\/span> or as part of a team. Depending on the setting, they may work directly with clients, or they may work behind the scenes. In a hospital, a dietetic technician can assist a registered dietitian<\/span> with providing medical nutrition therapy (an individually-tailored nutrition plan) to patients. However, they can also work independently for a number of community-based organizations, where they educate people about good nutrition<\/span>. <\/span>
\u00a0<\/p>\n

How Much Can You Make with a Dietetics Certificate?<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0
Before you commit yourself to a job or career path, it\u2019s a good idea to get a sense of the income potential.<\/span>
\u00a0
For one thing, knowing how much money you can expect to make can help you better plan your education and training. Because you have to complete more schooling and training to become a registered dietitian<\/span>, you can earn a larger salary as a registered dietitian<\/span> than you can as a dietetic technician.<\/span>
\u00a0
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median pay for dietitians<\/span> and nutritionists was $59,410 in 2017. Some dietitians<\/span> even made close to $80,000 in 2017. Recent benefits surveys from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggest that registered dietitians<\/span> in management positions tend to earn the highest salaries. You can earn even more with a graduate degree than with a bachelor\u2019s degree. A master\u2019s degree may bump up your hourly wage by a few dollars, while you can earn even more money with a PhD.<\/span>
\u00a0
The salary outlook, like the job growth outlook, also looks promising for the future. Here are a few more numbers to consider. As of January 2019, the average dietitian salary in the United States was $60,694. Typically, salaries range between $55,248 and $66,694. And the U.S.<\/span> News and World Report<\/i><\/span> notes that, as a profession, dietitians<\/span> tend to have above-average flexibility. Not a bad combination!<\/span>
\u00a0<\/p>\n

How to Be a Successful Dietitian<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0
Dietitians strive to help their patients or clients master healthy habits in order to improve their health. They work specifically to help people learn and embrace the many benefits of eating healthy as a way to lose weight, treat lifestyle disease, or just transform their health. A successful dietitian<\/span> never loses sight of the ultimate goal: helping people make healthier choices that will transform their lives.<\/span>
\u00a0
Beyond that, you should define \u201csuccess\u201d for yourself. What does a successful career as a dietitian<\/span> look like for you? Do you want to work with a specific group of people? Do you want to work in a hospital or perhaps with children? Maybe flexibility or a remote work environment is most important to you. Make a list of attributes that you associate with being a successful dietitian<\/span>, and that fit with your lifestyle, and then set goals to work toward.<\/span>
\u00a0
If success means making a good living and earning a good salary is paramount for you, you should keep salary at the top of mind when looking at job postings. When speaking to a recruiter or human resources representative, inquire about the salary so you\u2019ll know whether to pursue the opportunity any further.<\/span>
\u00a0
Or maybe you equate success with freedom. In that case, you might want to open your own consulting practice or work as a Health Coach<\/span> with a focus on nutrition<\/span><\/span>,<\/span> rather than take a job as a company\u2019s employee. You can set your own hours, pick your own clients, and make decisions that work best for you and your clients.<\/span>
\u00a0
Only you can decide what \u201csuccessful\u201d means for you. Once you know what you\u2019re aiming for, you can start working toward achieving it!
