>> Definitely go into the sciences.
So for the nuclear industry we have people that work in chemistry, we have electrical engineers,
we've got mechanical engineers, we've got civil engineers, nuclear engineers;
of course those are the ones that monitor the reactor more closely, the resto of us work as--
at a power plant just like anybody else.
So that's-- those are usually the bigger majors, the bigger population that we have,
but our maintenance techs usually are engineering technology majors or technicians
that went to community college as well.
So there are different opportunites and at the end of the day a lot of times if you're open
and have a crafty mind, if you may, or a problem solving mind you would fit really well
in our industry.
Most companies that operate nuclear power plants have internship programs,
especially for the summer, so being able to find a position within the plant,
whether it's in the system of engineering position where they're the ones
that monitor the plant, modifications engineering,
they're the ones that really change the plant inside.
For us procurement it's a more abstract concept because it's-- we're the only ones that do it;
the nuclear industry is the only one that has a procurement engineering position,
but there are opportunities and I think the most important thing is to be open
to working in the nuclear industry.
My best piece of advice for a student is to go to the career fairs, even if you're a freshman,
even if you've never had work experience, go to the career fairs,
get the recruiters to get familiar with your face.
They see how you interact because that is an important piece when you go to the workforce is
that you have to interact with people.
You're never going to work silo, you're always going to have to interact and work
with other individuals, so it's important for them
to see how you interact with other individuals.
