Have you considered taking that nutrition degree out of the restaurants and into a hospital or nursing home? You could be in a place where you plan menus and make sure that people's nutritional needs are being met.
Sit down and start to write a plan. Do you need any certifications? Set a date for when you are going to take exams and get the certification.
Make a list of possible places to work in your area. Put together a resume. Go to Indeed.com and type nutrition and see what jobs and salary ranges are in your area. You might be surprised. Having your college degree is a definite advantage. Certification is often the deciding factor in getting any job.
Sometimes the best way in the door is to take a position that you already know, like cooking and be in a place where you have an opportunity to grow into a manager or director. I always ask people if they know the difference between a wish and a goal. They are the same thing except that the goal has a date attached to it. Turn all your wishes into goals by setting up a calendar with dates and cross them off as you accomplish them.
Once that ball starts rolling, it goes fast. The first step is to set the goals.
