In Reply to: we need a new career - AnnaP

I am taking the OPs message in the context it was meant for.....fun!! I am currently studying to become a nutritionist. I am a little over half there with about 1-1/2 years to go before my Bachelor of Science in Clinical nutrition is completed. I agree with you and it is just a matter of time until this industry is consumed by technology. I currently am lucky to have a couple of decent accounts that I do with the help of a few MTs, but I know the days are numbered in MT. I chose a field that interested me where I could help others become fit and healthy!
