FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCE
Family and consumer science are disciplines that deal with the capacity of families and individuals to have well-being and also investigates how culture is structured by the dynamics and economics of the family. Learners of family and consumer sciences get the skills required to safeguard their life qualities along with the issues concerning health status. In the educational background, a learner can opt to study a bachelor’s degree or a master’s one by their choice in profession.
The study of family and consumer sciences exposes the learner to different fields like preparation of food, merchandise, among other skills. Nutritional fields like family health nutrition and medical nutrition can also be studied to help the families that fall in need (Coomer, Hittman, & Fedje. 1997). Apart from regular programs, online programs are available for those who choose to have part-time studies due to commitments such as jobs.
Those who take Family and Consumer Sciences as a course get exposed to careers such as counseling under nutritional basis, food management, and dietetics. Some fields require to be licensed or hold a certificate of operation. Lacking a certificate of operation may result in a firm being sued simply because its operations have to screened to validate them that they can cause no harm in any way. Taking an example of a firm or a field that deals with biological agents, the agents must be investigated whether their biological origin may render them being biohazards.

If the agent is found to be biohazards, biosafety concerns are taken into consideration.
In recent years, the pay rates of jobs in these fields seemed to have the same range, but over the years, a higher increment in pay rate for nutritionists and dietitians has been identified unlike the jobs for teachers in technical fields.
