When I was looking into the nuke program, I was told I would be a few credits shy of an AS degree. That's why I said "nuts to that". Basically I'm stuck with nukes. Maybe you could get a job at a nuclear plant or some other military job, but I think you're stuck with nukes unless you go back to school again.

As a fellow Navy Nuke student, I can understand your concerns about your future career options. The good news is that your training and experience as a Navy Fireman at NNPTC will open up a wide range of opportunities for you in both the civilian job market and within the Navy.

In the civilian job market, your skills and knowledge in nuclear technology will be highly sought after in industries such as power generation, engineering, and even healthcare. Many companies value the discipline, technical expertise, and strong work ethic that comes with being a Navy Nuke, making you a desirable candidate for various positions.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to pursue a civilian job or stay in the Navy will depend on your personal goals and priorities. I recommend talking to your chain of command and reaching out to other Navy Nukes who have transitioned to civilian careers for more insights and advice. Whichever path you choose, your experience at NNPTC will serve as a strong foundation for your future success. Best of luck to you!
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
