How many people can say they've worked on a satellite that's in orbit? Or that they've designed a new tank/fighter plane/missile/what-have-you. Or that they designed a bridge or a skyscraper. Or that they are responsible for planning out highway development. This. Working on large projects like aircraft gives you a new perspective on just how much time and effort actually goes into the end product. I was working on a small subsystem of the JSF project, but it kept me busy for months. I'm still in graduate school now though as I want to pursue a more theoretical/research oriented path.

KaLogain posted:Have you tried the oil and gas industry? Lots of the service companies are looking for design engineers. Try Rigzone.com, nov.com, halliburton.com, bakerhughes.com, schlumberger.com, smith.com, weatherford.com, etc. You'd likely have to move to Houston, but a job is a job, and there are always chances to move elswhere and internationally once you get on with a company. Schlumberger's Tech & Field program is awesome to get into. If you apply there and start talking to a recruiter, ask them about it. You do 18 months of grunt work on a rig, but after that you work in Houston developing tools and systems for them.
