How much can I earn.. in the nuclear industry?

Where did you get these numbers? How do we know they're reliable?

In my experience newly graduated engineers are being offered starting salaries of $60,000 to $65,000 depending on their prior experience, GPA, school, engineering discipline, geographic location, etc. This is about 10% higher than the MEDIAN starting salary mentioned in the article above.

I recently wrote about career opportunities for engineers, operators, and technicians in the nuclear industry here:

Obviously, the annual salary of a nuclear engineer is largely dependent upon the amount and difficulty of the tasks for which they are responsible. Generally speaking, the median starting salary for entry level positions is anywhere between $55,000 and $62,000 a year. Each subcategory has its own income range, but it is a safe bet that the starting Nuclear engineering salary will be roughly $60,000 per year.
For nuclear engineers with 10-15 years of experience, one can expect to make an annual salary of $96,000, while those with 20+ years of experience can expect an annual wages of $110,000 or more. Unsurprisingly, the private sector positions pay better salaries than those in the public sector. Discover more about the Nuclear Engineer Salary by visiting http://nuclearengineeringsalaries.com/
