>Long work days with few to no days off for a month or two (72-84 hours a week)>Have to spend a year working very little and thus earning little>Need to travel>When you travel you are first on the chopping block to be laid off>You cannot turn down work in your area ( it means at minimum you need to take 1-3 jobs a year)If you have literally no education beyond high school and live in one of the closest cities to a nuclear power plant join your local labourer's union and ask to work nuclear outages. You will spend probably 3 months taking scattered safety courses and doing computer learning that a high schooler could do at no expense. They will call you to outages where you will make a shitload of money with tons of overtime for anywhere from a month to two months. When they lay you off report it to the union and do whatever you want until they call you again.
After about a year they will probably start calling you about non-local nuclear outages which you can decline at will, although you often get better pay for being a non-local. When traveling I generally find the cheapest extended stay motel I can find and rent a room for a week at a time or split a single bigger room with 1-3 other guys if I know one or more of them.
Another downside is that when you get laid off is up to the company that hires you. They might lay you off after a week (especially if you are brought on in the middle of an outage) and are more likely to if you are a traveler or they could keep you at the plant with reduced hours (probably 40-60 hours a week) and are less likely to keep you on if you are a traveler.
