That's one part of the issue
though they're not young- I now only have one under the age of eighteen.

Mostly for me it's more an issue of engineers not being in demand, having to be around for my kids while they're in university and until they get on their feet, and generally being tied to the US by family.

Part of the joys of being unemployed is having endless time to reflect upon your life and your options- and I'm not liking what I'm seeing in mine.

I'm not sure what type of engineer you are but there is still some work
for environmental engineers as remediation of contaminated sites continues even if a bit slower than it used to be.

Mechanical.
And there ain't shit out there for me. I've sent out scores of resumes and not heard anything back from anyone- they don't even give the courtesy of a "No thanks" message.

Fuckers...
