Dietetics is a 'higher' qualification shall I say. . .
being a dietician makes you qualified to work in a hospital and you're advising patients on their diet.
Whereas nutritionalists sort of would be advising athletes and that sort of thing I think.

Dieticians are more sought after as far as I can tell.
