    Hi everyone,
    I'm due to graduate with a degree nutritional science in May and I have no idea where to go next. :(

    I've decided against doing a research masters despite being offered one as a lecturer who's very clued up reckons research's not the best route for me to go down in the long term because of where I ultimately want to end up (as a nutritional consultant) Is this good advice or should I reconsider taking the one I was offered?

    I can't afford to do a taught masters yet and anyway I really need a break from studying after four years of not having a life I'd really like to get back into the world, so that leaves me with finding a job.

    I have no clue where to go job wise, what area to branch into (food tech, pharma, clinical nutrition etc) and I don't know where the opportunities are to be had.

    My results have been consistently good (1:1's) and I got awarded the title scholar of science last year. Would this give me better odds of getting into jobs less relevant to my degree like biological sciences or the likes or do employers even care about your results once you have a degree?

    Anyone working in anything anyway relevant? Any advice or tips at all would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks :)
