You mean nuclear energy? How about nuclear engineering?

Yes just put the word bomb between those last two words and search it up on google, plenty of schools have this curriculum and you're guaranteed to get a job.

>>10781019
Yeah this, but to be sure you get good results you should put 'bomb' and 'school' and maybe 'nearby' in the search terms. Then to make sure it's a good safe area you should search for local police response times, and see if the area has a swat team.

Go nuke pipeline in the navy.

Or get a random degree, become an officer, then go sorta nuke pipine in the navy.

Right now, civilian nuclear power is contracting because civies can't science.

>Go nuke pipeline in the navy.
Do not do this. This post was made by a piece of shit navy recruiter. Navy nuke program is hell ask anyone who has ever done it(besides recruiters of course).

>>10781126

It's not hell, it's just hard and the Navy makes the mistake of recruiting people with zero life experience, separating them from their social safety net, and tossing them into a technical job which does not allow you to hide from the consequences of your actions.

It's not for everyone. Hell, it's not for half the people who do it.

BUT if you're the right kind of crazy, the program will help propel you literally anywhere you want to go if you are willing to work for it (and you WILL work for it.)

Because civilian nuclear power is cool, but you never rip and roar into the power range increasing power [redacted] times a minute, or one arm steam valves pushing [redacted] pounds of force down the header.

is there no point to doing this if i already have a bachelors (integrated masters actually) in engineering? not OP btw

>>10781168

I joined at 25 with a degree (biochemistry) back in the middle of the great recession.

Best decisions I ever made. It wasn't easy, or fun, but it was definitely worth it. And the extra life experience helps see through the Navy bullshit.

However, if you want to stay firmly in nuclear power you'd have to go enlisted (they make you turn down a comission in writing) but you then get to become a subject matter expert and still have the option to go officer as a Limited Duty Officer later where you remain as a specialist in nuclear propulsion.

>>10781168

You might get some looks from people who joined at 18 right out of highschool, reenlisted because the Navy waved money in their face before they new what the job entailed, then get mad because somebody dares ask them to do their job.

But just don't assume it makes you better than others, put your shoulder into everything you do, and get the job done and people will pay you no mind.

>>10781177
thats endearing
>you'd have to go enlisted (they make you turn down a comission in writing)
sorry, what does this mean?

>>10781180
so is there no particular benefit to having a degree first (other than making the academic process easier)?

>>10781181

There's the enlisted side (people who do the work) and the officer side (where you lead the enlisted in doing work.)

However, as an officer coming in fresh off the street, they'll turn you into a generalist. So you'll spend a year or two back learning how to lead on the engineroom then be sent somewhere else to lead them.

If you enlist, you get your rate and then spend your time working within your field.

A Limited Duty Officer is one of these eblisted types, but then given a commission to lead within a specialty of the engineroom. You won't command a ship, but you'll be THE guy on Navy's side of nuclear power.

Just understand that this job isn't for everyone. I've seen alot of people get burned out of beaten down. But you won't know if it's for you until you do it unfortunately.

Also separation from family is a real thing. My biggest reason on pulling the trigger to join was that I didn't have a kids or a wife. The demands of this job don't fit well with work-life balance or stable marriages, especially if you want to excel in your field.

>>10781184

It's the same for SEALS. SEAL officers tend to have lower attrition rates. The people with lowest attrition are 25, with a degree, and participated in water polo, wrestling, or swimming.

Your degree won't make you nuke smart. And I knew PLENTY of people smarter than me despite being 7 years younger.

But that maturity edge more than made up for it. Chances are you've had the sex a couple times. And done plenty of weekend benders and the wacky tobaccy, probably had some shit entry level civilian job too.

All that means you aren't going to freak out at your "first" taste of freedom with a $1000 biweekly paycheck.

>>10781194
hey thanks for the reply, thats perfect
>didn't have kids or a wife
yeah since i browse /sci/ you can probably guess im in the same position

>>10781210
giving the ("reddit")spacing im perhaps mistakenly assuming you're the same anon, either way i really appreciate the replies thanks

>>10781002
waste disposal

>>10781002
i watched chernobyl than means im smaart reeee

there is no nuke industry and ffs don't go into the navy just to be a nuke, that's fucking retarded, just do something else

>>10781210
>All that means you aren't going to freak out at your "first" taste of freedom with a $1000 biweekly paycheck.
I'd freak out about how shit that pay is tbqh. I made more fresh out of high school cleaning toilets.

>>10781002
I know more Electrical engineers at power plants than I do nuclear, and it isnt even close. Yes nuclear engineers are needed and their jobs do exist, but consider EE in case anti nuclear wackos take over

>>10781137
>if you're the right kinda crazy
god I hate buzz phrases like this.

>>10781002
nuclear, electrical, and maybe mechanical engineering

>>10783367

But that pay is 100% disposable.

Live on base?
Food, clothing, shelter, electricity, water, garbage, medical, dental, etc all taken care of by daddy sugar.

>>10783657

It's real.

All nukes are joked to be somewhere on the autism spectrum, and that's after everyone in the military has their own particular brand of crazy.

How else would you define someone's mental state to get a hardon at the opportunity to yell at spergs and autists operating a nuclear reactor under the ocean while huffing farts for 20 hours a day. All for half the pay you could make in the civilian sector?

>>10783657

Crazy is exactly what it is.

Rangers fight and climb over each other for the opportunity to get within visual range of the enemy with a team of 6, far ahead of any fire support, and not shower for a week in 110F shitting into MRE wrappers while destroying their ankles, knees, hips, and back.

And they don't even get a nuke level reenlistment bonus or post-military job prospects.

>>10783367

That's starting pay. It's 100% disposable income because the military feeds, houses, and clothes you.

Also the military is literally taking you off the street and giving you certified training and work experience in exchange.

>>10781076
You're supposed to torture it first, otherwise it doesn't make the adrenochrome! DUH!

>>10781002
>Which studies can land you in the nuclear industry?

Art degree.

How cucked can one be?

Compared to wallowing away in a job "to pay the bills" that requires full time commitment for part-time hours while applying for jobs that requires 5 years field related work experience for entry level positions, all while knowing that the longer you remain underemployed only decreases your lifetime and peak earnings when you eventually get a position all while trying to pay off student loans so you can have a chance at saving for retirement for more than 15 years?

Pretty good.

>>10785638
My father told me pretty much the military owns you once you sign up. Grandfather told my mother the same thing.

I was looking through his basic training book the other day, his section 1 notes were "The chaplain can NOT get you out of the army"... Nonetheless he was a non-commissioned officer when he left. Staff sergeant if I recall, don't remember. I imagine he did learn a lot. I picked up some of the mountaineering and cold weather warfare stuff.

Wouldn't join myself anyway. Especially the way things are at this point.

All I had was a 2yr mechanical engineering degree with a focus in nuclear systems. Now I sit around in the plant doing a couple hours of work a day while making $44/hr.

Dyatlov! You're so cool.
