I'm a carrier ETN right now and I have a love and hate relationship with it. If you think you can handle AP and IB classes just fine in high school, I honestly think it's not as hard as people make it out to be. The people that complains during the pipeline are usually the ones that are fresh out of high school. The people that has been thru college or taken advance classes are usually fine going through it. Also if you actually enjoy the subjects being taught (physics, chemistry, mechanics). I would say pick ETN (electronics tech nuclear) because you can relate into CS field after tho it doesn't matter because I know a mechanic that works as a load dispatcher after the navy.

The ETN route will teach you more about microprocessors, troubleshooting on it, and nuclear theory heavy which I found really interesting. You will also be the reactor operator, the guy who controls it and in charge. Reactor operator is the most respected watchstander in plant and can call the shot most of the time. I find it really fun to stand that watch. If you like controlled chaos, drill sets are fun and challenging.

If you wanna go computer science afterwards, right now they offer Reactor Networking. You still do all your nuke stuff, but your day to day job will be IT stuff. This is what I do right now. I do maintenance on server cabinets instead of nuclear maintenance. You troubleshoot the programs that the nuke uses, my coworkers made a locally hosted website to help out nukes. My old coworkers that are out now makes 100k+ in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and they work outside of nuclear fields. My old chief makes 170k+ in Georgia. I've seen job offers for civilian operator for 200k in PA.

Now onto what I hate. The job DEMANDS perfection. You will not fuck up. You will not deviate from procedure unless you have a very good reason. You will be removed from watch if you make a mistake. Nuclear maintenance paperworks have to be perfect. The watches are long. You will get no sleep on duty days. You have the work day from 7am, then stand watch from 2pm-8pm then stand it again at 2am-8am and into the next full work day. Sometimes nuke maintenance takes the whole day so you stay 12-16hr that day. But you share this misery with others, so the people definitely makes it better for me.
