I’m currently working on a government funded project to develop a robot to locate nuclear contamination in soil (for cleaning up the Hartford and Savannah River sites, where we used to make nuclear weapons). The idea being that we use robots to perform these surveys rather than handheld detectors.
My recommendation though, is focus only on one thing. Having two degrees has not made me particularly marketable, it is certainly unique, but HR doesn’t actually seem to give much of a shit. Instead, it’s much better to focus on one thing, get a Masters or PhD in it (double degrees also suck for this as well, because you don’t have time for research and publishing when you’re graduating with 195 credit hours taken out of 128 required, so even if you have a good GPA it’s hard to get into grad school).
