Is it worth getting a Masters in Nutrition vs just going for a Dietetic Internship?

Hello,

I am a senior dietetic student, and I am trying to weigh the benefit of getting a Masters in Nutrition and doing a Dietetic Internship vs just doing a Dietetic Internship and becoming a registered dietitian more quickly. The biggest issue is that getting a Masters costs money! More than an internship alone. Is the pay scale different enough between someone with an MS RD credential vs a dietitian with an RD credential? I'm having trouble getting much guidance on this.

Thanks,

Courtney
