You say you have some RF experience...lots of defense sector companies love that sort of thing. RF engineers aren't nearly as plentiful as leetcode CS codemonkeys. Cleared work has a lot of benefits, most importantly job security.

But probably not in a small town somewhere in Canada. If you want a job like that you usually have to relocate to wherever those jobs are.

Exactly...you move. I would guess a lot of companies would pay for the relocation expenses too, especially if you have harder to find skills.

Yep, it would require a move and it would probably be good during interviews to leave out the part about EE having failed the candidate. 

NSCI0T7:
I can't say it's a good decision, and $60k+ means I should be sure before I start.  But when I look at how I want to live my life when I'm 45+, I want it to be helping get medical technologies to market.  I don't think society has a lack of engineers with ideas.  They have a lack of people picking a technology and knowing a peculiar strategy to get it to the hands of patients that need it.

I know this doesn't address the relocation bit.
