RSO/RP/Dosimetry career training
Hi y'all,
I'm a AAA game designer with a BS in game design potentially thinking about a career change. I have my FEMA EMI certification in Radiological Emergency Management and have a love for dosimetry, so I've been looking into careers in this vein, but I'm awfully confused by the training, certifications, and license requirements.
My main question is: do I have to go back to academics and earn an AS in health physics, nuclear engineering, or etc?
And then from there, how do I specialize in dosimetry? I've seen these RSO courses online but 40 hours of training online doesn't seem like enough to work on-site at a nuke plant or something.
Thanks in advance, y'all. I am...depressed having been laid off for the second time in my career, and I'm just trying to see what options are out there for me.
