How difficult was it to transition yourself from learning nutrition in college to applying it to your career?
Q. I am halfway through my college career and majoring in Nutrition. I don't always feel confident that I am in the right field. Please tell me about your experiences! Did you feel prepared for your career after college?
A. Hi,
I didnt study nutrition at college, but I understand how u feel in a way. I've been studying to be an (adult) general nurse for almost 3 years, & will complete my training in less than 6 months- & i dont feel nearly as ready as I feel I should be. I've been told that the real learning takes place when I go into 1st job, & there have been times when Ive felt I've not made the right choice in career- but I've stuck at it & will see how I get on when i get a job. I'm sure you'll be fine though- you've come this far & you probably will have doubts at times, but your halfway there,
Good luck

What are some possible careers/college majors for someone who likes nutrition and engineering?
Q. I like learning about food and nutrition (including the science behind it). However, I'm also pretty sure I want to be an engineer. I start college next year and want to pick a major that will suit my interests. Right now, my major is Civil Engineering, but I have come to love learning about nutrition, etc. Does anyone have any ideas?
A. Chemical engineering might be a good fit, since you like the science part of food and engineering. Find out if there are any food/nutrition classes at your school and take as many of those as you can. Look for a research mentor to work under.
What's the difference between a nutrition major and a health studies major?
Q. Hi! I am currently incredibly unhappy with the university I am attending now. And I am currently majoring a nutrition at a university that has an accredited program. I really really hate this school, so I'm thinking of transferring to another school closer to home, but it doesn't offer nutrition, only health studies. Would this be a bad move? What is the difference between nutrition and health studies?
A. I am sorry you are so unhappy at your current university.
To answer your question, it really depends on what you hope to do with your degree when you graduate.
A nutrition degree often emphasizes basic chemistry, and biology, as well as food science courses. A nutrition major may be well prepared for a career as a registered dietitian.
A health studies major often is geared towards those that want to go into health communications, or health management. Think: somebody who wants to work in a hospital or healthcare setting, but is not a healthcare provider (i.e. doctor, nurse), but rather an administrator or health policy designer.
So it is really up to you, but I would advise you to figure out how a change in degree might impact your career plans.
