IMHO, a degree in nutrition is not that practical (at least not in Vancouver, i am not sure if that's the case in other places). Most of my friends with a nutrition degree cannot find a relevant job here (as in vancouver). If you want to be practical, study Dietetics or Food Science instead. However, I don't think one makes much as a QC/QA (~$40k on avg). As well, most major food plants are located on the East. 
There is an average requirement to get admitted into a Food Science Major (~70%, not high), whereas there is none for Nutrition Major. In order to get certified as a public health inspector, you WILL need to go to BCIT.
