demand at the moment, so some workers choose to specialize in high growth
industries, like construction or recreation.

dietary plans. This may be in an effort to lose weight or compensate for a medical
condition, such as diabetes or lactose intolerance. A dietician must go to school to
learn about how foods affect the human body, learning about the chemical
processes in the body along the way. Many dieticians find work in fitness and
weight loss centers, but they may also work in hospitals and health clinics.

and administering anesthesia to patients. This usually happens before and during
