I will be graduating this May with a Chemical Engineering degree with a concentration in Nuclear Engineering so I applied everywhere. The opportunity for an operator or engineering position also doesn't come around too often (from what i've found). If I get this position it will be a good stepping stone for me into the industry that may turn into something better. If another opportunity comes up, who knows what i'll do.
Are technicians considered lower than operators and engineers?

In no way was I trying to imply that Techs ARE lower or higher than Operators or Engineers. I just hear a lot of other students at my university talking down about Technician jobs and like you said, my education is more than needed for a chem tech which implies some sort of hierarchy.
And you are right, my biggest flaw is my work experience. I also have been working in a lab for the past 4 years as a lab tech..which might explain why I was contacted for this position...
