Just trying to get some input on whether this is a wise choice for me.
At first I was looking at graduate schools for some kind of Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, ultimately to just get a masters in Engineering.
Then I came across the Navy Nuke Officer program and became intrigued with the job opportunities afterwards.
I understand that you don't get any kind of degree after the 6 years, but what do you exactly get? What are you allowed to put down on your resume if you go through the 6-7 years of being an officer? Nuclear Engineering training? I plan to finish the online Thomas Edison University degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology too over the course of my enlistment.
Will having a bachelors in Physics from an accredited University, a bachelors in Nuclear Engineering Technology from Thomas Edison State College, and the whole Navy Nuclear Officer program make up for my other choice of going to graduate school right after undergrad and getting a masters?
Technically with all the posts I've read over the various forums and statistics, I should be making around six figures in a job coming out of the Navy program with a degree or two. I figure with a masters in engineering I would still only get an entry level engineering position since I have no experience and be in massive debt.
I would love to serve my country and absolutely understand all that is required of one in the Military, but I'm also thinking realistically and want to know if its the best path that one can take in these regards.
With these qualifications would I be able to secure an SRO spot?
One last question, would the Navy pay for my undergrad Federal Loans too?
I've searched a lot and these are only the couple of questions that I still have unanswered.
Thanks guys I appreciate it.
