I was wondering something about the nutrition degree in a university
in canada. First of all how much does one usually make, second of all
what types of jobs do they usually work in and how many jobs are
available?

Hi! Thanks for the question.

The Dietitians of Canada website is a very good source to answer these questions.

First of all, professional nutritionists are recognized as Dietitians
under Canadian law. This is explained in length by our first link

How many jobs are available?

There is no exact figures as to how many jobs but the outlook is very
good for this career according to Job Futures Canada.

As for current conditions of employment, dietitians only has a .07%
unemployment rate and the assesment is that there are more jobs than
qualified people to fill these positions.
