After the not so great meeting with my dietetics director, I have seriously thought about my future career and how to make myself unique. I don't have the strongest GPA, but I have a strong desire to get my masters and possibly my phD. My director told me that if I get the combination of RD/PhD I can basically teach wherever I want because it is so rare. I love teaching and I love counseling, I don't ever want to stop!
I have always thought of doing something with eating disorders, like opening my own eating disorders clinic or something like that. While in class talking about sleep issues and addiction to sleeping pills, I thought... maybe I would like to work in a drug rehab clinic. Celebrity Rehab came to mind... how cool would it be to work with Dr. Drew??? I don't even care about the celebrities I might treat... I just want to work with Dr. Drew!
My two career choices before this were education and psychology. In a way, dietetics isn't very far from either of those. You need to be a good teacher and a good counselor as a dietitian. It just adds in the science and nutrition that interests me.
So, that's me right now. Today I'm turning in my first draft of my letter of application. I already have thoughts on how I want to change it, ha... but that's why you do a first draft right?
