Hi Steve, for certain Engineering qualifications/background, you can get exemptions from the exams and do about 6 months to get qualified. Working with a guy doing that at the moment. It would for instance give you a job on 6 weeks on/6weeks off offshore, and probably based Asia or Africa repatriating to the Philippines if you chose.
Although at 44, it's often the age that guys start turning towards the shore based/settling down stage after spending tooo much time looking at the deep blue!
