I’m a 50 year old unemployed engineer. I’m going to work one more year as an assistant teacher, then I’ll be eligible for State Retirement. I’m going to get my time in, then look for engineering work in the Dakotas, or even in the oilfields in Canada. I have a Petroleum Engineering degree, but most of my experience is in Civil, mainly Geotechnical Engineering and Highway work. I have experience with the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA), as well as have a Class One Concrete Technician’s certificate. If I can get a job in either Petroleum or Civil, that’d be fine with me.
That sounds like a plan! I wish you the best of luck on that.
