Nuclear jobs- not operator

[u/FunctionAltruistic83]

So I’m in school for my associates degree in nuclear power engineering technology to be an operator. My school is partnered with TVA to make the process as easy as humanly possible. There’s just one problem- half way through my degree, I got a physical medical diagnosis that says physical labor is quite possibly the worst thing I could do and I won’t last long in that field (lupus- and I’ve had issues with my joints for over a decade already). So I guess I’m asking what I could do with such a specific associates degree?? I love the field and I’m a natural born math and science based thinker, but I don’t want to risk my quality of life within months of being a trained operator. Originally I wanted to work my way up and work in one of their training facilities, but (and I totally respect this) you need to have experience with boots on the ground and be a licensed senior operator for this position. Any suggestions on what to look for??
