I did undergrad at night, married, one kid, 60 hour workweeks - a lot of things changed, nothing improved.
I even did grad school at night because I needed to work for a living. The good news is that it took just a year. It was a lot more fun than undergrad. The MS thing opened a lot of doors.
Seventeen years into retirement, things have changed again. This time things have improved.

If you want a profession where you can work almost anywhere, become a doctor or lawyer. If you become an engineer, and especially a design engineer, you need to go where the work is. There is just no way around this. If you are flexible about location, you can find interesting things to do in electronics.

It's funds, brains and time. Easy to figure out :)

Check check and check. That's why I can't just move to whatever city has the most interesting job.
And when I talk about manufacturing, I'm not talking about PCB assy. I'm talking about making and selling medical equipment.
