ME degree with Nuclear minor
dapperengineer:
Hello. I am in my senior year of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech. VT is offering nuclear engineering courses which I'm taking for my technical electives. If I take 18 hours in the fall and spring, I'll have a BSME degree with an NE minor. I also have a degree in English from another university. (yeah yeah, professional student, heard it before)
What I would like to know is what an ME degree with an NE minor is worth in the nuclear industry and what kind of job I'd be able to get. Another thing I'm curious about is how choosy I can be about where to live. The main company that hires VT graduates with this background is Dominion, whose main nuclear presence is in VA. My girlfriend is insistent that we live within driving distance of NYC, so I was wondering if there were any nuclear companies in that area I should be looking at.
Thanks for any advice!

In the neighborhood of 2 hours. I've been considering applying for Exelon in Philadelphia.

You should be looking for a new girlfriend.

;D It just reminded me of when my wife and I bought a house a few years back she wanted it to be close to this restaurant she was a bartender at. So we got a place nearby... then she quit the job shortly after. lol
