what i can do ?
(OP)
Hello
I'm a nuclear engineer I had graduated from three month ago and
I have not got career yet and I’m preparing to start studying master in my field. Actually I don’t know what I will do and which branch I must study, I feel my knowledge it’s enough to make me able to work in nuclear field although my graduation rate is 66 % I’m very worry about that . My question for any nuclear engineer is what I must do now if I need get suitable level in our field and if any one felt like me when he was a new graduator. Please help me
With my best regards for all

RE: what i can do ?
First congratulations on graduating. That is a big first step.
Second, don't worry (over much) about your grades - they were good enough to get you into the Master's program, and, once you get hired somewhere it will be your job performance, not your grades, that gets you promoted.
Third, yes, all of us "experienced" engineers were once in your shoes - brand new, making the transition from college to real work. Some handle it better than others, but we all go through it.
What should you do now? Part of the whole "growing up" experience is finding out what you like to do best. While I can tell you what I did, it may be totally wrong for you. It's scary, but you have to make the decisions now, not anyone else. You do have some resources within your college - check out the placement office. Consider taking one of those "personality profile" tests (to find out if you'd rather sit and do calculations all day or want to be out around people). Talk to the professors in your department - they may know where some other recent graduates have gone to work and can give you a reference. Honestly sit down and think through your strong points and your weak ones. Visit the Corporate Survival Thread on this forum and read through what some other engineers have gone through. Then start getting a resume together and getting it out.
Good luck

RE: what i can do ?
First I have great honor for your reply and thanks a lot for your advice. Second I’d like to ask you about the best branch of nuclear knowledge that you prefer for examples (hydraulics, neurotics, radiation applications, nuclear materials...etc) then I will be so happy when you are telling me. I wish that we can share some knowledge if you have time. Finally I don’t have except sending my great thank to you
My best regards
