I am a college sophomore studying in electrical engineering, and have recently been thinking that I may want to pursue a specialty in power. If you have worked as a power systems engineer, can you tell me about your experiences, some of the projects you've worked on, and possibly what an average day of work might be like for you? What things did you do in college to help you prepare for your job?

Good paying jobs (which increase men's overall average pay) like electricians; construction workers; offshore riggers; chemical, petroleum, nuclear and power plant operators; power, communications, gas and water line technicians; firefighters and police officers... Or could it be that most women are OK with letting men do these dangerous, dirty and difficult jobs? Yes, Hannah. And women tend to choose less dangerous, less dirty and less difficult jobs. You haven't answered the question.

My son has scored very good on the asvab and qualified for the nuclear school. However before he can get in he has to get a wavier signed. He's scheduled to go in for his physical tomorrow and his recruiter wants him to signup for a different MOS before he finds out about the waiver approval. The recruiter has said that he'll put his offer in writing. Should he wait or signup for a different MOS?
