Engineering Graduate opportunities Abroad
Discussion
What engineering field specifically?
From my experience I joined a water company as a network engineer on a graduate scheme. On my intake there were a decent proportion of older graduates (28+ and one lady was 40) so there didn't seem to be any discrepancy in terms of age and certainly no discrimination!
Given you've also had past experience, have savings and are willing to be mobile with your travel I'd say you shouldn't have too many issues with finding employment at this point in your course. The challenge, as always, is researching, contacting and networking with companies with overseas posts!
Good luck!

It all depends on where you are hoping to relocate too...
However, I would recommend that you should complete your MEng. I am seeing more and more requests for further education when applying for graduate roles and it could be enough to make your application stand out over just a BEng.

My advice would be to complete the MEng, as it will be accredited by a professional institute and allow you to reached chartered status quicker.
As for overseas, as long as you are wiling to accept the same pay/conditions as locals and speak the language well enough, then the world is your lobster.
Spend the time researching where technical industries are booming, where government and other investment is going etc.
Alternatively go where the weather suits you and the social life sounds good!
