Title: A concern for myself
Post by: Glowing_Since_09 on Sep 08, 2009, 05:18
I joined the Nuke Program for the experience and difficulty. As of now, I have no clue what my future career goals are. I'm 70% leaning away from a Nuke type career ( because commercial plants don't care much about ex - Navy).

Is joining the program going to stall my career process in my later life, if I don't choose to continue my experience in the Nuke field?

Are the basic Navy incentives ( GI Bill and TA ) enough to just continue and take the Nuke field as an experience that will only benefit me personally other than career?

I work for a company that is in the top half of the Fortune 500 list. It used to be 11th until major spin-offs took place. There is radiation, mostly alpha particles. I didn't need to know that to be hired...leadership was key.
