You can have a rewarding career whether you go nuclear or any kind of officer in the navy. Take into account that you will need a security clearance as well as citizenship. The naval aviator slot is very competetive from what I hear. I think you'll be doing great with your degree no matter what you do. If you want to fly for living just go and get all the ratings in a reasonable time and start flying. If you just wanna fly for fun then get any other job that pays good and fly whenever you can.
