So I will be graduating in spring 2016 with a b.s. in nutrition & dietetics, I already have a b.a. in biological sciences. I had originally intended to pursue the second degree for the purpose of becoming an RDN, but honestly it seems unrealistic. I say that because getting a match for an internship is very hard and RDN's don't make that much and I will have school loans. So, I think that option is out. I am good with people, numbers, and I am very plan-oriented person. I have been browsing career options, but I am not too sure. Anyone have suggestions for a career with descent pay that I can start right after I graduate? I plan on eventually getting married and raising a family, so the money is important to me.

You can work in a hospital, nursing home, retirement home, school district etc. All employ dietitians. Does your university have a career center? Did you complete internships?

I don't want to do the dietitian path and I haven't done any internships

How about a school district? You need a degree in nutrition, which is what most schools require for someone in charge of food services. If not, use your biology degree and teach. It works well for families.
