Hello Jacky! You've posed an excellent question. The path you choose in nuclear engineering largely depends on your interests and career goals. The nuclear field offers a wide array of roles and opportunities, each requiring different levels of qualifications, degrees, and experience. Here are a few examples to give you a better idea:
1. You could become a nuclear engineer at a nuclear facility, focusing on the design, development, and operation of nuclear systems. Engineers in these roles usually hold degrees in nuclear engineering or mechanical engineering.
2. Another option is to work as an engineer or research scientist at a national laboratory. Individuals in these roles often possess advanced degrees, such as a Master's of Science or a Doctor of Philosophy in Nuclear Engineering, with specialization in a specific area of study.
3. You could also consider becoming a reactor operator at a nuclear power plant. Reactor Operators and Senior Reactor Operators typically have engineering experience or similar naval nuclear experience, such as operating nuclear vessels on submarines or aircraft carriers.
These are just a few examples of the many roles available in the nuclear sector. It's important to explore, ask questions, and gain as much experience as possible to find your perfect fit!

It depends on exactly what part of nuclear engineering you want to get into, and even then, there's often a few different routes. Most people I know in the industry came from a college/university degree background in physics, chemistry, or engineering. Many (myself included) have taken specific nuclear engineering degrees or Masters programs (I did a Astrophysics undergraduate degree before changing specialism into a nuclear technology Masters).
Alternatively, there's other routes as more of a tradesperson - often via apprenticeships, often sponsored by the larger engineering firms or national laboratories.
Have a look at what programs are offered in your area; it might be worth looking at places like Lawrence Livermore, Diablo Canyon, and SONGS. Also see what entry-level jobs are currently on offer there and what the job requirements are; that will give you an idea of the things you'll need to work on.

The following 5 points:
"Nuclear Engineering" for Engineers.
1. Study chemistry and physics in High School. Some High Schools offer Engineering Programs.
2. Nuclear Engineers require a Bachelors Degree for most for most entry level positions.
3. A Masters Degree is not often required for entry=level work, but some employers require Nuclear Engineers to have a Graduate Degree for management posts.
4. Look for Entry-Level Nuclear Engineering Positions. The Federal Government is the largest employer of Nuclear Engineers, employing about 20% of the workforce.
5. After gaining an entry-level position, become a Professional Engineer. Nuclear Engineers may use their work experience to seek promotion and career-advancement.

Since your question is very straight you can look it up, for example
http://learningpath.org/articles/Nuclear_Engineer_Career_Summary.html
But if you really like it and you just think that you can't handle it, go for it. Nothing can stand between you and what you want to be.
