I made it through Nuclear Machinist School, Nuclear Power School ,and about half way through the Prototype training. It was a lot of very hard work to let go to waste. I recently enrolled into a program at a local college to get an associates degree in nuclear power engineering technology to kinda help me get a job in the field, but now I have been told (by the program director at the college) that I may be wasting time with the degree program and that i could probably already get into a training program at a nuke plant due to my Navy background. Does anyone else have any opinions/feedback on that? I dont want to waste time if I could be making money instead of spending it on classes.
