Re: Need Some help- annoying things

[Guest guest]

1. RDs willing to work for peanuts (like $20/hour or less) in the 2010's.

(Maids make as much or more than that!)

2. RDs that care about the spelling - it's in the dictionary's both ways.

;-) (Had to tease you about this one.)

3. Question from a doc - Do you have to go to school to be a dietitian?

(Was asked that in the 80's.) sigh.

Working on a " project " - need some ideas for all your years as a Dietitian

what are some misconceptions or annoying things people have said to you

over

the years. You can email me privately or answer here.

Some of mine include:

1) The spelling of " Dietician "

2) use of the term " nutritionist " and Dietitian being the same thing

3) You are a dietitian so you must love to cook

4) Shock that dietitians like sweets
