Although a net salary of R26k is a lot for someone in their community service programme, the TikTok user thinks differently.

A 2024 study by mywage.co.za reveals that the average salary of a dietician ranges between around R11 000 and R51 500.

The study further places entry-level dieticians and nutritionists between the R11 000 to R25 500 salary range.

Don't study the dietician course at university

In a note sent to the TikTok user, the dietician further pushed people away from the dietician course, detailing that it should be done by those who have no intentions of practising, using housewives and rich kids who don't need money as examples.

"Do not study fashion design, and I repeat DO NOT STUDY FASHION DESIGN! Unless you ready to be reduced to a tea girl in fashion retail. Especially if you’re black👏"

User @meriam_sigauke took a jab at dieticians, commenting:

"Tjoo, the way dietitian students were behaving at UL, I thought they are getting something, plus they only take 60 students pay with high score."

User @ikanengram did not feel the salary was bad, asking:

"I think that's a decent salary for someone who is starting off, you said she's 23?"
