It turns out that many students aren’t exposed to nutrition as a career option at all.
When you’re going to school for a degree, you need an ROI. You need a job when you graduate. You need to understand the path you’re taking because the stakes are higher when you’re going to school and you’re coming from an economically disadvantaged background. You must have a job at the end, and you’re not going to take the risks of choosing a degree that’s just interesting to you without understanding what that path looks like. That’s why I do think that education at the high school level about the very good opportunities in careers that exist in the nutritional industry—so that it is seen as a truly viable path and a good bet—is really necessary if you want to get those communities into these programs.
