To be an Nuclear Technician you have to have an Associate's Degree, but other than you don’t need much education. Algebra, Trigonometry, Circuits, Fluids, Mechanic Properties, and reactivity are also things that would be nice to know, but are not mandatory. Any fields that deal with science or math are helpful. To have this as a career you have to have common sense and general knowledge.
I would have went to ‘The university of Michigan’ in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is told …show more content…
that they have one of the best Nuclear Technician programs in the country if the best one. Michigan also has all the classes above that were not mandatory. Also it's fairly close it's my family so I won't be far away. It’s the perfect place to get your classes done and than also be able to spend time with my family. It’s nuclear technician classes are also cheaper than most across the country.
If you are schooled correctly, and have a decent job, the yearly salary for a Nuclear Technician can skywords of $63,000 to $83,000 with a estimated $35 an hour.
There are not many people in this market so working 50-60 hours a week should be allowed upon request. Also, most Nuclear Technicians jobs are 24/7 so you may get a schedule to fit yours. Which is decently good especially if you get this job out of college. It’s enough to live a comfortable life and to supply for your family.
It looks like from recent studies most of the Nuclear Technician field are getting more and more jobs opening as we speak. Like I said there are not many people in this market so working 50-60 hours a week should be allowed upon request. Yes, there wasn’t many jobs to start out for this market, but most people or trying to find nursing, factory, or industrial jobs at this point. Like I said early, most people don’t want this career since it’s sometimes dangerous and important. Also because you don't make a lot right away, but it gets better. So most likely you will have no trouble finding a
job.
