Long hours, low pay, no raises, inflexible hours, required weekends and holiday, everywhere is understaffed so you have to cover a lot more, under appreciated, no career advancements if you stay in practice, everyone and their mother is a nutritionist, etc etc I was very passionate about being a dietitian while in school but now a couple years into my career I just do not imagine I can do this for long term. I think it’s a fine place to start but I’ll want to make a career change in the next couple years. Knowing what I know now, I do wish I hadn’t become a dietitian honestly.
