There are several nuke plants in construction right now, scheduled to come on line 2017-2020 time frame. I have a very high interest in this since its what I do for a living The plants are already scouting. They are hitting us up more than 1 year before our Navy contracts expire and hiring for plants not even up yet. Offer to buy our houses, pay for our moves, HUGE signing bonuses. Starting salary for a RO (reactor operator) is 80K plus overtime. They guarantee at least 10 hours overtime a week. We are starting in 6 figures without a degree! That is WAY more than I make in the Navy, and the civilian job is MUCH easier and they never ask you to leave your family for months at a time. Plus I don't have to live in San Diego or Norfolk, which are two of 4 choices I have in the Navy. Those places suck.
I will have my degree in a few months, so my salary will be even better. Right now, there are very few programs out there to drive high school graduates into the nuclear field, so a vast majority or ex-navy nukes.
So with all this job availability, maybe I can afford to buy some POS hybrid. Just to keep it on topic.
