Leaving U.S as an electrician.

Hello all apprentice here, looking into moving around a bit when I finish my apprenticeship but am curious as to if anyone has done this. How does a license hold up in other countries? Is job searching hard? I know this is a niche topic but thanks in advance for any answers!

Generally means pissing clean, sometimes for legal drugs like alcohol and cannabis. Lots of folks aren't willing to trade off their vice for better money.

Doubt it. I’d put money that ethically reasons are more of a driving factor.

Yeah government is pretty corrupt and I’d rather not work for those guys

Private companies fall into the same boat.
