Choosing a career path can be difficult for some people but easy for others. When we enter college at the age of 18, it is expected that we should know what we want to do for the rest of our lives. This is a scary and daunting decision to make at such a young age. Some college students will begin school with a major and career path already decided, while many will begin school undecided upon which direction they want their career to go. For myself I knew early on what I wanted to do when I grew up. Ever since early on in high school, I knew I wanted to learn about nutrition and become a Registered Dietitian. It was something that was of interest to me. In my first semester of college I was able to begin taking courses pertaining to my major-dietetics. There was never a doubt that I wanted to switch majors and career path. After obtaining a bachelors degree, the next crutial step in becoming a Registered Dietitian is the dietetic internship. Everyone in my classes were frightened of the internshoip process and of whether they would get matched to a program. I was one of the few from my school who got into an internship. After the 10 month long internship, I was fortunate enough to find a job-at a nursing home. I have been at my job for over a year and enjoying it. I think back on all that I have been through to get to this point and I see how lucky I am to have a job in the career of my choice. I knew where I wanted my career path to go and I have accomplished those goals thus far.
