Call 1-800-225-0385 and talk to one of the recruiters about decon, labor, and firewatch positions.  They may (or may not) have  something.

Good luck!  :)

I had worked in a Nuke Plant many years was out for about 10 and FINALLY got back in last year as a firewatch. I will be going back once more as a FW next month, hoping these 2 outages will get me back in. However it is not with Bartlett. It is with PME- the  sister company.  Hope that helps.

You may consider fort lift driver.  It is true some make more than RP's at ome places, so it is a job to strive for.

It took me a year to get someone with a Radiation degree their first job as a deconner.  In this horrible economy, unless you have a friend in the business who has pull your chances may be slim at best.

What did you hope to achieve by getting a Bachelors degree in "Sports Management"? Has the Great Community Organizer shut that industry down , too?

No experience
no experience, no education, no contacts.  going to be tough.  while it's true the money is decent in outage work, there is good money in lots of occupations.  bartending could be a deal for you.  a good club in a decent town will net you $100 a night easily.
