Career Help?
January 3rd, 2009
If I was interested in a career as a nuclear engineer (which I am) and I was planning on going to the Naval Academy (which I am) are there any other engineering schools out there that you might recommend? Also, how much money does a nuclear engineer make and how much can they potentially make? thanks 
Just do your research on schools that offer engineering and you should be able to find some useful information. I'm actually a chemical engineering student, which apparently are recruited by the Navy for their nuclear engineering program. I've heard that nuclear engineers start at roughly $60,000 per year, then by their fourth year with the Navy are earning approximately $90,000. After four years I've heard that one has the option of re-enlisting, or one can leave the Navy and work elsewhere. A friend of mine from high school is actually a nuclear engineer with the navy… however he says that he has virtually no free time whatsoever. If you choose to attend a standard four year school before signing on with the Navy then there should be a representative there that can provide you with more detailed information
