5. Post-grad Masters nuclear engineer looking for a job - in Out of Pod Experience [original thread]
I believe the US Navy might be interested. They'd probably give you a decent signing bonus to boot. So, what'll it be? Submarines or aircraft carriers?

I'm with you on Asimov and Heinlein. But whenever someone who thinks they don't like SciFi challenges me to name a book that'll change their mind, I give them Orson Scott Card.
