Engineering Career questions for nuclear engineers and experimental nuclear physicists.

AI Thread Summary
A high school student is seeking to conduct an interview with a nuclear engineer or experimental nuclear physicist for a career path assignment. The student prefers an interactive format, such as instant messaging, email, or private messages, to ask basic questions about the professions, including job responsibilities, pros and cons of the roles, and essential qualities for aspiring professionals in these fields. The student also suggests that others might find helpful contacts through the American Nuclear Society website.

Hi! I'm currently doing a high school course regarding career paths, and for one task I have conduct an interview with someone who's working in a desired career. I'm unable to contact a nuclear engineer or an experimental nuclear physicist in person, so I was wondering if there were any of those here who would answer a few questions.

I'd prefer an interactive interview over IM or email, or private messages here. If you're willing to answer some basic questions about the jobs in either of those fields, send me a private message here.

By the way, the questions will be fairly basic: "What do you do for a job" and "What're the best/worst things about said job" and "what qualities should an aspiring nuclear engineer/physicist have" and such. Nothing invasive or lengthy or anything.

Thank you for your time.

One could find some answers through the American Nuclear Society - www.ans.org.

One might even find an engineer or two who would respond to questions.

Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
