Nutrition isn’t all about carrots and celery sticks. Nutrition is eating what you need to keep your body healthy. As healthy-sounding as vegetables are, bodies need more variety than that to keep humming. Luckily there’s just as much variety out there for nutrition-related jobs.

If you know a lot about the science of nutrition and are good at working with people, you might teach nutrition or health to children or adults. You could also become a nutritionist or dietitian.

You can also work on the fitness side of things as a trainer or physical therapist. As well, you can develop or sell nutritional supplements.

If making a difference interests you, you can help those less fortunate than you, whether that involves those across town or across the world.
