Nuclear Plant worker here.

In year 34 and plan on retiring within the next couple, or less?

I worked 6 years on construction pouring concrete (hard work!) helping to build the place and got into the operations part of it in early 89.

For those that are wondering, it is nothing like the Simpson's, at least the plant I work at isn't.

I spent 3 years working at Plant Vogtle near Waynesboro Ga when it was being built. I was a carpenter building the forms so the concrete could be poured. You are correct in saying it was hard work.

I am currently a superintendent for a small general contractor. We travel all over the eastern half of the US doing work. I've been with the company 26 1/2 years and have worked in 26 states.

Just Googled that place and seeing all the rebar brings back haunting memories!

Actually, our plant looked to have about double that in the pics.

I needed the rod busters once as my path down the wall we were pouring changed as the concrete came up.

Only happened once as I was far more cautious/aware of my surroundings after that!

I am a recruiter in the hospitality industry. I'm 22, and love my first office job. The M-F schedule is fantastic, but the ability to constantly shop for cards online during my work day is bad for my wallet.

I wish we had a class like that when I was in high school.
