Resurrecting I&C Career - Help Me Brainstorm

(1/2) > >>

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...
