Pros

You are responsible for all operations in Nuclear Reactors on board US Naval war ships. Your office is in the control room of nuclear reactors.

Cons

You are expected to be the best, but you will only get paid average. Overtime work is significant (nights and weekends) and often last minute. Your everyday task will be to get the unwilling, to do the unwanted, for the ungrateful.
