It's still surreal bro. I just learned my kids can go to college for free in a few states, or get in-state tuition in any state. They'll also get a $1,500 stipend every month of college while attending. I keep finding out about new perks.

Yep, we have a lot of electrcians. Mostly contractors, but our "company" electricians make really good money working half the year. Most of the electricians are also instrumentation technicians as well, but not all.
I don't think the contractors make crazy good money, but they do well enough.
The company electricians still change out lighting fixtures, but not too often. Most of their job is resetting breakers when they trip and finding out where the short is for ground faults. Whenever I have an electrical issue, I just call them out and it's usually not a big deal.

If you're smart enough to be a navy nuke, I'm sure it would be child's play for you. A lot of the job is personality and the ability to play well with others instead of actual skill.

i'm thinking about enlisting after my apprenticeship is over (<1 year). recruiter keeps blowing up my phone to go nuke and the enlistment bonuses are enticing.

Why not go officer? A lot of the enlisted Navy Nukes are every bit as smart as the officers. You have to be legit smart to pass the courses. I'm a retard btw
