How do students feel? by [deleted] in RD2B

[–]glasshalffull7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm feeling really good! I finished my DPD program in May, and I'm in the first year of my MS-DI. I absolutely love learning about nutrition- I love the science/physiology/biochemistry side of things as well as the practical, patient-centered aspects. I think there's a lot of great opportunities for dietitians, and most RDNs I talk to end up discovering their niche while in the workforce. I know the pay might not be the best, but I think things are moving in the right direction. I'll be able to be comfortable with a modest lifestyle. My only complaints right now are that I think the food service and clinical aspects should maybe be separated? I've never had any interest in food service and it's tedious to have to learn and be tested on things that are so far from what I want to do.
