is nuke worth it?

[GT]

Yes it was in 1968 when I got out. Times have changed a lot over the 50 years. There are starting level commercial NUC jobs available with many old timers retiring. Go get a SRO license, pursue college, I did, and there will be a future in at lease the SMRs coming out in a decade or so.  Nuclear is the only viable carbon free energy - base load generation source we have to keep the US running. Yes there are anti-nucs and there will always be some in energy and politics. Fact is we need a healthy mix of baseload and solar/wind sources. Energy is a great field to work in past, present and most assuredly the future.
