Construction is the challenge with nuclear. It's likely that due to the extreme challenge of construction, we will see a huge contraction in the amount of nuclear. We literally can't build it fast enough anymore to replace reactors that are reaching their end of life. Choosing a nuclear engineer career path today is likely to be extremely challenging, and will have little impact. Better to try something that scales, like wind/solar/storage, or do something high-risk that is completely out of the known path, in order to try to blaze something novel. (We still need cement and steel decarbonization tech, for example.)
