Carter was a US Navy non-nuclear submarine engineer. He applied to be a US Navy nuclear engineer.
{{{Hyman Rickcover}}} was the Director of Naval Reactors and personally interviewed every nuclear engineer applicant. Part of his shitck was that he'd throw the interviewee out of his office when he answered a question wrong. He was testing the candidate for adversity, to see if he'd come back and try again or get nervous and fail the interview.
Rickover threw Carter out once and Carter left and resigned his commission, then went back home and ran the peanut farm.
Carter then entered politics and proceeded to dismantle the nuclear power industry in the US.
