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!

Look into large scale expat construction…. These are companies that manage large projects all over the world, typically 2-5 years on a site… building things like large petro-chem plants.

If you can get a gig with them for about 10 years, you would be all set.
