Becoming a dietitian?!

Question: Becoming a dietitian?

I want to become a dietitian. I love learning about how food helps the body, and what foods should be eaten. The only thing is I am a little nervous about taking the science courses. Is anyone trying to become a dietitian or is a dietitian? How did you like the mandatory science classes? And do you enjoy being a dietitian?

My wife is a retired dietitian with double Master's Degrees in Nutrition and Biology/

It takes at least a four year degree to become a Registered Dietitian.

She likes it a lot, but, to be honest, it doesn't really pay very well and there are a lot of requirements for continuing education hours to keep up your professional credentials. Sorry to be blunt, but that is my wife's honest impression. If you are looking to make money, became a nurse, physical, occupational or speech therapist; all of these pay better than dietetics.
