Hello all! I am interested in rejoining the Nuke field, I was a Navy Nuke ET, but got honorably discharged prior to finishing Power School and Prototype.  My goal is to become an SRO.  I already have a BA in Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and an AS in Applied Electronics, but I work in the medical field now.  I have been told of two options for becoming an SRO by different people.  1) Go to school and finish a 4-yr BS Nuclear Engineering Degree, then apply at a plant and tell them that I want to be an RO and work my way up to SRO.  2) Go to a 2-yr Technical School and get an AS Nuclear Technician Degree, apply at a plant, become a SO, work 5 years then apply to be an RO, then work my way up to SRO.
Which of these two paths are realistic?  Is it realistic to be able to apply at a plant as a nuke engineer and tell them I want to be a RO and them agree and send me to school for such?  I'm just trying to explore and find the best path.  What are your opinions, thoughts, concerns, or even alternative paths?
