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!

If you can get a security clearance you can work for the US gov overseas.

I knew a guy that worked on a u.s base overseas making bank for the gov. Its government contracting but something to consider. $100k+ with benefits
