My Research About Dietitians and Nutritionists

Before I even researched Dietitians and Nutritionists I had to figure out what kinds of jobs I was interested in. I used the "My Next Move" site to give myself a better understanding of what jobs I should be looking into. This site narrowed down the amount of jobs that would best suit me. I like how this site first applied my interests and talents into the equation because that is probably the most important part when trying to find a career. You want to be able to enjoy your job. If you don't enjoy your job then you are negatively affecting your well being by hurting your long term happiness. So, the "My Next Move" site really puts your well being before anything else. This site also asked what kind of training I want to go into. It is crucial to know what kind of training you are up for when finding a job because you want to make sure you are well aware of the steps you need to take to get the job. The last part to the "My Next Move" site was to look at the jobs that were recommended and then find jobs that seemed interesting. A brief description was given for each job which made the process a lot easier because all I had to do was click on the job to understand what it was about instead of having to look through the web to find every single job. I ended up choosing 'Hospitalists/medical director', 'Dietitians and Nutritionists' and 'Mental Health Counselors'. 

After choosing these three jobs I furthered my research by using the bls.gov site. This site really helped me learn so much more about each job. I learned about the wages for each job, the skills needed for each job, the availability of each job, and so much more! I ended up choosing 'Dietitians and Nutritionists' because it fit all my interests and expectations. More specifically being a Dietitian or nutritionist means helping others have a better life and that is something that I would find joy in doing.  The bls site really helped finalize my decision by answering any questions or concerns I had about each job. Ultimately, this was a positive experience because I ended up having a clear understanding of what kind of jobs would be the right fit for me. Also, if I ever change and want to take a different career path then I can always go back and use the MyNext Move and bls.gov sites.
