Why did I choose Nutrition:
I was thinking of having my own food business or working in the government to help in the improvement of the diet and nutrition of the Filipinos, especially the poor. I chose this course because the new world trend is in the area of security and nutrition/food.
About my college education:
The course of Nutrition has opened my eyes to the unlimited opportunities in producing enough nutritious food for all Filipinos at a lower price. If only the government concentrated in the production of staple food, all of the Filipinos would have 3 meals a day. With the help of government funds, the problem of malnutrition and food hunger would be solved.
Being inspired, I really worked and studied with such great effort to finish this course in this far flung school.With determination and discipline I was able to finish this course.
My current job:
As of now, since the pay in the government is very low and I am about to be a mother, I decided to accept the online work of teaching tutorial English to some Japanese students. The income is sufficient to support our family. The work is most convenient in the sense that I am earning while I work inside my house. This way I can take good care of my child.
Am I using what I learned in college:
The novel ways of planting HMOs and making an organic farming were some of the practical things I learned when I was in UPLB. If given the chance, I like to cultivate my own farm and produce high-quality food and show the other farmers on how to make a food industry in their own communities.
How long did it take to find a job:
Within six months after graduation I worked in an NGO for awhile. But the pay was not enough for me to stay in Metro Manila.
Do I recommend studying Nutrition:
I am strongly endorsing this course of Nutrition to the many young and idealistic people who would like to help in reducing food poverty among our fellowmen. I am hopeful that those who are considering in taking this course will really do something helpful by joining the government and the non-government organizations in producing more food products at very much reduced prices.
