I was admitted into UC Davis as a nutrition science major (am going to change into clinical nutrition if I do go there) and SDSU, CSULB,and CSUF for pre nursing. I m debating between 2 career choices right now, RN and dietitian/nutritionist. I am iffy on being a nurse because of the stress (I don t deal well with stress). Being a nutritionist does have a lower pay but also comes with less stress. Both careers have a good job outlook in the next 20 years. The cost will virtually be the same since I’m getting financial aid from UCD. I just don’t want to make any choices that I will regret. Please help
Davis. Registering for and getting classes is much easier at UCs vs. the larger CSUs. With cost being the same, I’d choose Davis.
Go with Davis. You can always go to grad school for nursing later if you decide that’s what you want to do.
You’re not going to be a nurse because you’d be miserable. Do the CSU schools offer clinical nutrition? Is it easy to change into clinical nutrition at Davis? Which area would you prefer to live in, or is there one you’re sure you would hate?
And all of this presupposes that clinical nutrition is right for you. Have you spoken with people in the field to find out what they career is like? Or taken other steps to see if its really a fit for you?
