What’s a career that has to do with nutrition but makes more money than an actual dietician?

I would like to be a nutritionist, but I would also like to do more research than a regular person of this profession, and I want to make more money. (The average salary is around $50,000 a year.)

I’m only a freshman in high school, but I’m thinking about my future now, just to get some ideas of the courses I should take over the next couple years.

Are there any specific professions that fit that description? Or is it just in general, a medical researcher?
If there is, please list the average salaries for the different professions and how many years of school you have to attend to get a good job offer in this profession!

You may need a doctorate in order to do research or to teach at the college level. You may be going too far ahead though :) Please do pace yourself and don’t worry so much about making ‘x’ amount of money just yet. The RD (registered dietician) traditionally needs to have taken several courses in college in the sciences such as biology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, organic chem. Each college program is different so one would want to find out the prerequisite courses for each school of nutrition. You sound very motivated and intelligent. Wishing you the best of luck and please keep reading and studying :)

Here is a website for general info on the RD — US occupational outlook handbook: http://www.bls.gov/oco and search ‘registered dietician’ or whatever other career that piques one’s interest.
