what is it like to be a nutritionist?

Hello. How are you doing :)
Your field of interest is very nice. As a nutritionist, a lot of people misunderstand food, types of food & how food impacts.
Now, below are few facts to remember and be proud of as a Nutritionist.
Point 1: Every one you advise are either your clients who are into fitness or patients.
Point 2: There is a huge misconception about content of each type of food (which you will be able to clear).
Point 3: Where do you work will be your choice (Example: Hospital, Gym, Free Lancer, College, etc).
Point 4: You can be employee of an organization, still be able to do freelancing in your leisure time (will pay more).
Point 5: You can educate a lot of kids in schools & their teachers to spread awareness types of food and their pros & cons.
Hope these points help you. I wish you all the very best in being a successful nutritionist. God Bless you.

The day to day experience changes quite a bit depending on where you work as a nutritionist. Some options include:

If you're working with large organizations like schools or companies, you might be in a management role, including hiring and training food service workers, developing budgets for food and equipement.

Overall, there are many different roles you can play as a nutritionist, and their day to day experience will look very different.
