Professional Advice

[COBDW@AOL.COM]

Dear Radsafers,

First, I like to say that I enjoy this site and have had some good advice in the past.  

Let me tell you a little about myself.  I have over 13 years experience as a RPT/HPT/RCT.  I have worked at four different Nuclear power plants and 3 DOE sites 1 DOD site.  Experience ranges from operational (power plants) to enviormental remediation with some D&D.  I will be graduating from Excelsior college on March 19th with a BST specialty in Nuclear Technologies.  I am a current member of the NRRPT.  I am currently working at ORNL as a member of the RADCON alliance.  I like the area and wish to stay here.  My current family situation precludes me from traveling. 

Question:  Where should I go from here to increase my marketabilty and income?  I would like to become a CHP but currently I am excluded due to a lack of PROFESSIONAL experience.  Should I persue a masters degree?  If so, in what area ie (MBA, MS etc.)?  Are there other certifications that I am not aware of and could qualify for?   



Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated.
