I am thinking of becoming a dietitian, do any of you know someone who is, or any pros and cons to the job?

    Just a thought,the education requirement is a bachelor's degree in dietetics from an accredited institution (generally takes 4 years). A couple of girls in my sorority were dietetics majors and they also had to complete long clinical internships AND pass a bar exam. If you are looking for a quick career change, this probably isn't it. For more information: http://www.eatright.org/BecomeanRDorDTR/content.aspx?id=8143#.UCqqrqBzL-s
