Hello...I'm looking to get into the nuclear power field and am signing up for the NET program at Lakeland Community College (
description,
cirriculum). The program won't begin until August, of course, so have quite a while to mull things over. So I'd like to ask some questions if it's okay.
Firstly - based on what you know about how things work and the cirriculum as described, does this seem like a good program? It's TAC/ABET accredited - is that a good sign or just flashy advertising? What sort of job would one expect to be able to get with this degree - will this get me in as an NLO, as the cirriculum suggests, or would I be more likely to get in as a floor sweeper? (Not that sweeping floors is bad; you've got to start somewhere and it's in the door anyway. Or is it?) I'm pretty hyped about this, but I'm wondering if I should reef my sail a bit. Starting as an NLO would be grand - to tell from the description of the job that I've picked up lurking around this site.
Oh! - one more thing. The summer job at Perry that's part of the program. Am I lucky or unlucky to be working at Perry? What's good/bad about it? If it's not the best place in the world, I'm presuming that upon graduation I'll be halfway marketable, but I don't know if that's a realistic presumption.
