What’s the difference?
Could anyone suggest the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian? What does a master’s degree on nutrition and dietetics qualify me as?

Michael asks…
nutrition jobs?
ok i am working on a degree in nutrition and i don’t know really everything about this. but the army is paying for it.
I want be a nutritionist but where would a nutritionist work? a hospital? I haven’t started my nutrition classes yet and i haven’t even declared a major but i would like to have a major in nutrition and a minor in psychology .
admin answers:
Here is a website from the US occupational outlook handbook: http://www.bls.gov/oco and search ‘registered dietician’ or ‘nutritionist’. RD’s need to have completed a clinical fieldwork at an area hospital, nursing home or non-profit organization before being able to sit for the registration exam to become an RD. There may be some college programs that offer a bachelor’s in (‘general’) dietetics too.
For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ
American Dietetic Association: http://www.eatright.org and they may have more info on accredited programs.
Sandra asks…
Animal Nutrition or zoology or anything with animals?
Ok, so I almost have a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition. I now kind of realized that I would rather work with animals. If I want to major in Zoology instead now, or at least work with animals, would I have to start school over again? Can I maybe just do two more years since I have all my General Education requirements done and many science classes? Could I maybe just get into a grad school for animal studies with my nutrition degree and do animal nutrition or be an animal nutritionist at the zoo? I don’t want to study like animals that we eat, so not that hehe. I’m soo confused!!
admin answers:
You could see about getting into veterinary school somewhere. You’ll probably have to take the MCAT to get in, maybe the GRE also. Depending on the school, a nutrition degree might actually be a plus. But don’t try to take the MCAT without knowing what you’re getting into.
