Great news. Actually I think the number is closer to 200 jobs.

Avg. salary is over $100K. Between this announcement, and the avg salary of the new GMAC jobs of $96K, I think I need to find a new line of work, LOL

Anyone know what kind of education background is needed for these jobs? I am seriously thinking about entering the workforce within a few weeks or atleast start applying.

Nuclear Energy, a specialized field...sadly it won't help the everyday citizen that needs it.
