answer:One place nutritionists work is in large health care institutions like hospitals and nursing homes. They may also work in assisted living homes. They design menus for various types of patients. Private consulting nutritionists will work with individuals to design a plan based on their individual needs. They may also get involved in cooking if that is an interest. It’s more flexible to work for yourself and find your own clients, but unless you get famous, it’ll probably always be a struggle. But being a nutritionist to the stars could be lucrative. If you wanted to work with folks with downs syndrome or autism, then you want to work in group homes or halfway houses that serve these populations. I don’t know if they hire nutritionists, or just hire cooks who cook what they want. If you were looking to help train folks with downs to live independently, well, that would be teaching, which you said you didn’t want to do. In what capacity do you want to work with these folks if you don’t want to teach?
