Question : Where Can You be Hired as a Certified Nutritional Consultant?
There is a very interesting course that I’d be interesting in taking. It’s called a Certified Nutritional Consultant, but after some research, I can only find graduates working in Health Food Stores. Is there any other employment where the pay is better?
Donnie there’s nothing useless about learning anatomy and physiology, or about how herbal remedies interect with prescription medication, or so many other things you seem unaware of. If you don’t have anything positive to contribute, please don’t bother answering.

It’s possible but such jobs are hard to find. It might help to become certified by the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, but even though that organization has tightened up its requirements since the early days, they still are not that stringent and you would be considered to be much less qualified than a professional clinical dietician. Your best bet might be starting your own business and working independently. That too may be a struggle, at least at the outset. Given time and perserverance you could make a go of it, though it may require a second job to support yourself for a good length of time.

Regardless of the employment opportunities, unless the course is a scam of some kind it will likely provide valuable knowledge about diet and nutrition – and you may well end up more knowledgeable about those subjects than many mainstream doctors. One doctor friend of mine said that in his entire medical school education he had only one single lecture on diet and nutrition. Given how important their roles are in health and prevention, that is absolutely shocking!.
