After I got my BA in physics, I went and mastered in nuclear engineering. I have had this conversation 10,000 times over the past 43 years:

What do you do?

Engineering

Oh, like mechanical, or?

Nuclear

Oh my. I wish they'd never invented the bomb.

No, my kind of nuclear makes electricity

But what about the waste!?

Did I tell you, I leave shiny footprints...
