@hotvette, I'd prefer to stay in the Midwest. How much of a performance difference would matter? For example, should I still go to UMich if I can maintain a 3.0 gpa or should I go to UMN if I can maintain a 3.5 gpa there? Like, would a 3.0 gpa performance at Michigan still be worth it over a 3.5...
Well I'd go for either. I just meant if I went to Michigan I would go for nuke and of course at MN I'd go for aerospace since they don't have nuke.
But more to the point is if an engineering degree at Michigan is worth paying the high out of state tuition for. Like, is its prestige worth it...
Is attending the University of Michigan with its absurdly high out-of-state tuition worth it instead of paying in-state tuition for the University of Minnesota? As in, is the depressing amount of money I will have to pay after I graduate at Michigan worth the degree? Or should i just stick with...
Maybe you're getting me confused with the other guy? I never argued that they were mutually exclusive. That'd actually be quite ridiculous. Of course engineering in general will have my mind thinking in an efficient manner, but again, I do need to pick a major. So let's deviate from this...
I never said I was going to school solely for a job. Where did you jump to that conclusion? Obviously I have to major in something, and I'm simply asking for the advantages/disadvantages of nuclear engineering. I'm sure people out there (Where are you nuke engineers!) have some educated opinions...
I've been reading around and have come to a general consensus that nuclear research and applications have and will continue to decline. I know there's the thread in the nuke forums section about if nuclear energy is "good" or not, but I want a more specific answer to the career.
I'm a...
