Actual salaries may vary greatly based on specialization within the field, location, years of experience and a variety of other factors.

Your earning potential throughout your career in nutrition will depend partially on variables like where you live and what degree you hold. However, your earning potential will also depend on your ability to work hard and to market yourself in your field. A great way to further yourself in your career is to build up a base of clients who know and trust you enough to refer you to friends and family.

Is There Demand for this Career?

The demand for nutritionists and dietitians is high, and it will continue to grow. The U.S. is in the middle of a large shift regarding attitudes toward nutrition—people are trying to eat healthier, consume smaller portions, and combat the health issues that a poor diet can cause.

Because of this change in attitude, people will continue to seek nutrition advice as an important part of developing better health.

Is This a Growing Field?

Through 2024, employment of nutritionists and dietitians is expected to grow by 16 percent; comparatively, other occupations are predicted to grow by 7 percent. Like any career field, however, it’s important to be aware that national long-term projections of employment growth may not reflect local and/or short-term economic or job conditions.
