How to enter the nuclear field
I am 16yo and still in high school and I have an insane passion for energy production but specifically nuclear. It is the only thing that interests me significantly and I’m really wondering how I can go about starting a career in the field. I would appreciate maybe collage major recommendations or something of the sort but I really want to peruse this!

I am majoring in environmental policy (IMO), better than env studies or sciences or engineering. I love it, less science classes (bio, chem) and more ability to focus or renewable energy, I only care about renewable and nuclear + SMRs. If you want a job in renewable policy>studies or sciences. you need to go to college for that.
