Title: Getting into Nuke industry
Post by: atomman_50 on Jan 26, 2009, 03:09
Hi,

I'm 52 years old and have an associates degree in math. Just recieved that degree last year. I live in Wyoming and would like to get into the nuke field. What do I have to do ?

1: Attention to detail, i before e except after c.

2: Determine which area of the country has nuke plants and apply to the utilities that run those nuke plants.

3: Associates in Math. Not looking all that good.

Wareal beat me to it!

What other experience do you have? If companies like FPL ("NextEra Energy") are taking people right out of high school, why not someone with an A.S. in Math? Never hurts to give it a shot.
