E. Whether or not you would like to be one

   1. I would like to be a nuclear operations engineer because I have taken weird like into nuclear objects. I want to have the skills to prevent a catastrophe just as the Chernobyl nuclear melt down.
   2. It sounds fun but it is not what I seek. I would be one if I needed the money, and although it sounds like a cool title, i do not want to be fixing refrigerators for a living.
   3. It is every child's dream to build a cool robot, so if i where given this opportunity, I would defiantly grab unto it and build me some robots for a living. I enjoy maneuvering objects and perfecting them.
   4. Becoming a nuclear design engineer would be a dream come true because I would have the ability to help out the people who need electricity to go on with their daily life.
