2) Nuclear technician
You’ve likely heard news reports that fossil fuels will be an energy source of the past in the coming decades. What will replace it? Well, nuclear energy is a popular and highly effective alternative to the polluting and increasingly criticized energy resources of today. That’s where you would come in. As a nuclear technician, you’ll work in either a nuclear reactor or an offsite location where you will partner with nuclear engineers, physicists, and others, to conduct thorough studies and production of nuclear energy. All you need is a 2 year associate’s degree in nuclear technology and you’re on your way to a potential income of $72,000 per year.
