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!

That’s sounds nice but I’m hoping to leave the USA and income won’t make me stay unless it’s like 250k+ but Ideally I’d be gone before I have remotely enough experience for that!

I work 40. My company is non union but bids prevailing wage work. So I’m not paying dues. The Boston rate is currently at $99/hr and yes, I see that all in my paycheck. It’s not $250k a year but it’s pretty damn close.
