If you're having trouble w/ employment opportunities there, I'd suggest
considering going to someplace where local economy is better and
construction is proceeding apace first rather than waiting for a call
from the blue. Right-to-work states would be a good choice, as well.
The whole Gulf Coast and FL are still in the midst of rebuilding as are
many areas in the midwest after this year's tornadoes and floods. CA is
needing qualified people as will many of the western states after the
fires of recent news headlines. Opportunities are there, you may need
to go elsewhere to search them out first.
There's also a building boom in British Columbia, if you feel inclined
to move to Canada. Lots of contractors hiring; I had one wanting to know
if I wanted to jump ship from the Navy. Wasn't as interested when I told
him only if he was prepared to hire me as a journeyman with 2 years
credit towards master electrician, but after 15 years in the Navy as an
electrial tech I'll be damned if I'm going to pull wire for someone.
Yours aye,
W. Underhill
