How difficult was it to transition yourself from learning nutrition in college to applying it to your career?

I am halfway through my college career and majoring in Nutrition. I don’t always feel confident that I am in the right field. Please tell me about your experiences! Did you feel prepared for your career after college?

Hi,

I didnt study nutrition at college, but I understand how u feel in a way. I’ve been studying to be an (adult) general nurse for almost 3 years, & will complete my training in less than 6 months- & i dont feel nearly as ready as I feel I should be. I’ve been told that the real learning takes place when I go into 1st job, & there have been times when Ive felt I’ve not made the right choice in career- but I’ve stuck at it & will see how I get on when i get a job. I’m sure you’ll be fine though- you’ve come this far & you probably will have doubts at times, but your halfway there,

Good luck
