20 years ago this would be true. But commercial nuclear power is struggling, plants are closing and the labor pool is flush with talent. Nuclear is a different animal. Many of the jobs that exist in this industry exist ONLY in this industry which limit opportunities to a certain degree.
I was an independent contractor for several years. Without question the money was better but the job security was absolute shit.
All that being true, yes I could probably make more money but it'd require relocation which I'm not willing to do at 56 years old. If I *Had* to I would however.
