Alternative jobs for graduates without their RD credential

The semester is finally starting to wind down for me. Fortunately, this also means that I graduate soon. I decided not to do the January match for dietetic internships because the ones that I am interested in applying to only have the April match. I already have a job as a dietary aide at a hospital, but I will soon be over-qualified for this position. I’m hoping I can get a little more work experience under my belt before the internship would start (if I got one), but what sort of jobs can I get with a B.S. in Dietetics but without the RD credential?????
I’ve been searching and asking around and here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
  • ·         WIC Nutritionist
  • ·         Foodservice Manager
  • ·         Diet Tech
  • ·         Nonprofit Organizations
  • ·         Food Industry
  • ·         Weight Loss Clinic
That’s about all I’ve been able to find in my area. Have any other suggestions for how to gain work experience? Share your ideas!
