I am currently a freshman majoring in Food and Nutrition. Upon graduation, I will be eligible for an Internship, followed by the ADA to become a registered and license dietitian (RD LD). However, I wish to pursure a job in food and nutritional research/development, not working in a hospital make food plans, etc. I'm thinking about going to graduate school and obtaining a Master's of Science in Food Science or Nutritional Science, as well as doing the internship in order to get accredited to be an RD LD. I was thinking this may be the best route (B.S. in Food and Nutrition, M.S. in Nutritional Science, as well as RD LD) in order to get all the proper education and experience to get a job in the food and nutrition research/development field. What do you think?

Most likely, you're looking at working in academia for research. Most top research jobs are in academia. Therefore, grad school would be your best bet. I highly recommend a PhD over a masters - you'd have more opportunities for research and it's not much more work than for a masters. Also, you don't need your masters to get a PhD. If you can, get your RD, too, but it's not necessary for a research position. However, the RD will increase you chances of getting hired, especially if you decide to work in industry vs. academia. For now, get your B.S. in food and nutrition. When you get close to finishing your undergrad, start looking at what faculty are doing in nutrition departments at various universities so that you can get an idea of what you want to research and who would be your graduate adviser. This will make your grad school experience easier and help you get through much quicker. Once in grad school, get your research proposal together quickly. The sooner you do that, the sooner you can finish your research for your dissertation and you could finish your PhD in 4 years or less - that's rare but it's do-able. Typically, a PhD will take 5-6 years. I'm not sure about what sort of research options you'd have with a masters, so you should talk to a few people who have that degree and ask them what options are available to them. I have a PhD in nutritional sciences from UT, so take my advice for what it's worth, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

1. nun 2. virgin bride 3. cleaning lady 4. porn with girls 5. fitness instrucer well, for the first one, I can't keep my butthole closed for more than a day so that's out of the question. the second is the same as the first. the third is because I don't bathe and have a few STDs so that'd be a little hypocritical. the fourth one I would just die. and the fifth one because I am so fat that when I'm getting hit from behind, my butt cheeks slap together violently.
