Support from Professionals/Students - Nutrition and Exercise

moochachip

I am due to graduate next semester with my Bachelor's in Arts Technology, but have found myself passionate for a long while in Nutrition and Exercise Science as well. I have always been reading about it different places, and enjoy talking to people about it. Especially when it comes to eating disorders - After having one myself, I want to be able to help others. Which takes me to my question.

This question goes out to those who have a degree in this subject. What would you think of getting a Master's in Nutrition and Exercise Science? What kind of work would it put someone in?

It really depends on the course. Check what accreditation (if any) you will be eligible for before you start the course e.g. will you be eligible to become a registered dietitian or an exercise physiologist? That may not be what you want but some of these courses can actually present surprisingly few job opportunities if they don't create that elligibility. Good luck to you! (Ps. I'm a registered dietitian - it's a pretty good job most of the time with lots of potential variety for areas of work).
