Dietitians

Dietitians generally work in offices or kitchens. Such environments are usually clean and well lit, as well, although some kitchens may be hot and stifling. Some dietitians sit much of the time, while others spend all day on their feet. Most work 40-hour weeks, but some—especially dietitians who work for hospitals and restaurants—are required to work on weekends and at odd hours. Approximately 4 percent of dietitians are self-employed.
