Money Magazine's Top 50 Best Jobs
The list.
Jobs on this list that I can get with my current academic plan:
-College professor (#2)
-Physician assistant (#5)
-Pharmacist (#9)
-Advertising manager (#11)
-Physical therapist (#12)
-Medical scientist (#15)
-Physical scientist (#16)
-Curriculum developer (#18)
-Writer (#25)
-Health services manager (#28)
-Dietitian/Nutritionist (#40)
-Biological scientist (#41)
Sooo... 24% of the best jobs in the country, I can have, hahaha. Of course some of them require additional training and school (like PA or pharmacist) but it's very common for people getting an RD to get some other kind of medical training, so there are lots of ways to do both at once, especially a PA. A lot of food manufacturing companies hire dietitians and food scientists to work on their advertising and product development. Books on health are extremely popular, and so is the movement to make schools teach more about health. And the profession is growing so they always need people to teach~
I had already been thinking it would be a good idea to be a certified PA as well as an RD, and this really makes me think that's a pretty good idea. Look at this-- they're expecting 50% growth in the next ten years. Christ.
