NukePadawan:
With more and more plants closing, and hearing nothing but bad news about my plants fiscal solvency from upper management I have serious doubts that my plant will be open another decade. With overtime as an RO I make around $200K a year. Does anyone know of any career paths that my experience as an RO can be transferred to that has a similar pay rate? Any advice on how to prepare, (online courses, going sro, etc.) also would be appreciated.

TVA:
No. The skillset is not transferable.
You can get jobs at various types of power plants but they will not hire you due to your RO license

None of those are transferable RO skills
