My color for the Eureka website was green, and the career I chose was nutrition and dietetics. Nutrition and dietetics are experts in the field of nutrition and food.  They are able to create nutritional meal plans to help anyone recover or maintain good health. For instance a nutritionist will be able to help a person with high blood pressure how to use less salt on their meals. Also, they they can explain the benefits of eating better to the client, evaluate meal plans and change plans as needed, and can keep up with the latest nutritional science research. A nutritionists salary is about $55k a year with a bachelor's degree. In order to be a nutritionists and at least need their bachelors to get started. Among other requirements such as passing a competency exam, complete an internship program, earn an RN or RDN credential, and a state license. Might be a stint before being a certified nutritionist/ dietetics. A nutritionist will usually work Monday through Friday and sometimes during the weekends.

During my visit with the counselors office, I was helped with my ed plan and to make my semesters were less complicated. The counselor that helped me is an EOPS counselor, Anna Brochet, she made sure my ed plan was complete.  I learned that my classes are not as easy as I thought. I need about four more chemistry classes, two math classes, along with microbiology, and anatomy in order to transfer. If I do summer, fall, winter, and spring without any breaks I will be at El Camino for about three years in total and that is if I pass my classes the first time.  The counselor told me I had very complicated courses for my major. I liked her honesty from the start. She did not discourage me, but she did let me know that I might have some tough semesters along the way.

The person I interviewed, Laura Deleon,  has a bachelors in nutrition and dietetics and is Certified. Laura is also, very adept in her career she knows what she is doing.From the interview, I learned that it's a pretty busy life. Laura can atrophy her time because every minute is important to her. Usually she will wake up very early before going to work to get her things ready. Laura works at a hospital doing diet plans. Her coworkers will help each other figure out the perfect plan for a patient. They will have interns during the day or have meetings. The good about this job is making a difference in people's lives, you motivate people, and your job is secured. The bad things about this job is that people will ask you thousands of questions about your job and have to correct people's ideas of being healthy. Overall, it is totally worth it if you like science.
