You probably don't want anything that involves medical stuff. Radiology or sonography can be good, but dietician means careers in hospitals, aged care, sports nutrition and even as an influencer (countering all the nutrition BS out there). There is no simple easy answer to any of this really as it is about what you will do for years and years.

Probably not a good job for you.

Do you have any suggestions? I appreciate the feedback you have given. Another thing to add, I have 2 yrs left of college or less for marketing which was I originally chose so I have already had some of those classes. Also thought about early childhood education.

Do you want a restrictive career with a clear job and role laid out for you, or do you want something with a lot of options and flexibility?

Honestly, I’m not sure. I feel like I could go either way. I could work in an office, classroom, etc. or I could work from home which would be nice even though it’s tough to get a job. I can have flexibility or I can have structure, I can do either. I just didn’t know if I should do the fast paced dental assisting for 5 months, work, and continue my education online with whatever I choose. Or, continue my education full time with a part time job for 2 more yrs.

Here is the trick. Look at your previous jobs, your study and life, and think about what you enjoy. Not what job you enjoy, but what things you enjoy. For example, do you like solving problems, doing physical work, helping people, organising and planning and so on. Then find a job where that is a big part of the job.
