Hi, I am almost done with my 5 years of a bachelor of nuclear engineering, the main field I am working on is thermal-hydraulic but I am flexible with changing my whole path. for example, I am in between data science and CFD analysis. What kind of jobs do I qualify for?

This is your sixth thread on very similar topics. In none of them do you mention what skills you have. Or basic information like what country you are in. Maybe instead of asking the same vague question over and over you can provide some deatils.

You can be an office worker.

And if that doiesn't satisfy you, maybe you could provide some actual details.
