I'm currently a junior in high-school and am looking to narrow down my options for colleges by major. I want to work with nuclear energy as a career and am conflicted as to what majors or academic path I should take. I specifically want to work with fusion on things such as the ITER Project and the subsequent DEMO project or maybe muon-catalyzed fusion.
I originally thought a bachelor's in ChemE and then get my postgraduate degrees in NukeE as an undergrad program in NukeE is relatively rare. I'm now thinking about a double major in NukeE/ChemE and Physics as an undergraduate degree or just a NukeE degree.
I'm not sure which is the best option for going into that particular field. I am also concerned for my ability to handle a double major while competing as a NCAA d.1 or d.2 soccer team which is why I am narrowing my choices as soon as my junior year.
Thanks,
