Employment status of dietitians

If you search for "nutritionist" on major recruitment websites or apps, there are not many related jobs you can find.

This is not difficult to understand:

Generally speaking, it is mainly because some monthly centers can recruit nutritionists and need to provide pregnant women with daily meals;

Some high-standard old-age rehabilitation institutions make some diagnosis and suggestions on the diet and nutrition of the elderly or patients receiving rehabilitation treatment;

In addition, there are some slimming and fitness institutions, nutrition and health care products institutions, etc. In order to show their authority and scientificity, they will be equipped with a certain number of nutritionists. These nutritionists usually have more gimmicks than substance, and even some of their main jobs are actually sales.

In addition, some nutritionists will combine the media platform to do popular science work on nutrition and diet. Strictly speaking, they can be regarded as self-media creators who do nutrition science popularization, and their income sources and structure are the same as those of self-media people.

Therefore, from the current situation, the employment of nutritionists is still relatively narrow. Will the future be better?

As people pay more and more attention to their own health problems, there will be more demand for nutritionists, but I am afraid this will never constitute a just-needed, so it is unlikely to become too big an industry. The profession of nutritionists is destined to be a relatively small one.

In addition to nutritionists, there are many fans in their respective media platforms among online celebrities, which can be realized by bringing goods and other means, and they can get relatively rich income. In other cases mentioned above, the income level of nutritionists can only be said to be average.

Especially if you consider that this profession, like a doctor, needs profound accumulation, and you need to constantly study and delve into all kinds of particularly difficult and boring professional knowledge at work, which is really not high compared with the income.
