Answer 1

[ ] Medical couriers
[x] Biomedical engineers
[x] Nutritionists
[ ] Emergency dispatchers

Notes/clarifications:
- Biomedical engineers: typically require a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering or a related engineering field. Professional licensure/certification (EIT/PE) may be required for certain roles or public-signing responsibilities; many jobs require at least the degree.
- Nutritionists: to work as a credentialed practitioner (Registered Dietitian/Registered Dietitian Nutritionist) you need a relevant college degree, supervised practice, and national registration/licensure in many places. The unregulated title “nutritionist” can vary by state/employer.
- Medical couriers: usually do not require a college degree; may need training (bloodborne pathogen, HIPAA, vehicle/DOT rules) and background checks.
- Emergency dispatchers: generally require a high school diploma/GED and agency training/certifications (e.g., CPR, Emergency Medical Dispatch). Some agencies prefer or require college coursework, but a degree is not universally required.

Check local/state/employer rules — requirements vary.
