“Dietitian” isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. Dietitians work in a variety of settings from hospitals to private practices depending on their interests and expertise.

Do you have student loans? Are you working the hours you prefer? Are you able to enjoy the lifestyle you’re dreaming of? We know how passionate you are about people—but don’t forget that you matter, too!

The fact is, all dietitians are invested in helping others, and they also deserve to earn a good salary. With the right job, you can do both. Check some of the highest-paying dietitian jobs to see if they would be a good fit for you.

Many dietitians are struggling with huge debt, high cost of living, and salaries that aren’t quite enough to cover all of it. The average dietitian is making about $60k a year, and that simply doesn’t go very far if you’re living in many places in the United States. Unfortunately, most dietitians also work for large health providers who set their salaries, benefits, and hours, and they don’t provide them with the flexibility to have a serious discussion about their value. 

As a result, many dietitians are looking for extra ways to supplement their income by joining the 44% of Americans who have a little hustle on the side. But what they’re discovering is that their skills are highly valued and there are a lot of potential customers out there. In fact, there are plenty of ways that private dietitians can deliver much-needed services to the public, support colleagues and friends, and help people in their profession develop their careers.
