Resurrecting I&C Career - Help Me Brainstorm
UncaBuffalo:
Here's the background:
-2 years experience as I&C tech at commercial plant.
-bachelors in electronics technology
-15+ years other nuclear experience (RP related)
Obstacles:
-out of I&C for almost 4 years.
-degree is 8 years old, so very rusty on electronics.
When I got out, there seemed to be lots of plants hiring. Now...not so much...and the ones that are seem to want more experience than I have, so... I need to figure out how to get more experience. Avenues I am already thinking about are:
-outage I&C work
-valve tech work
-non-nuclear I&C
Are there any other paths that I should be looking at?
Also, are there any electronics study courses (online or otherwise) that I should be taking to both renew my knowledge and prove to potential employers that I am serious?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks! :)

Between Portland & the coast would be optimal. Any chance they are going to rebuild Trojan? ;)
Seriously, I'd prefer to stay out West, but there are individual plants throughout the rest of the country that are acceptable options.

There are LOTS of outage I&C and Valve Tech positions out there, so that's what I ended up doing...
