BTW : I've been through the retraining path twice , first in the early 80s to retrain as an chemical engineer , I was a chemist , and second time more recently where I took up high school teacher training (didn't like teaching in high school so that went no where) concurrent with retraining in physics + computer engineering (to broaden my knowledge and skills) and now my masters in engineering and management.
Will something come out it (for me) ?
I'm in my mid 50s now , so unless there is dramatic swing back engineering shortages and there are changes in how the major resource and metals companies do their hiring .... I'd say unlikely. Hence I'm retired.
You've my respect for giving it a go , it takes real intestimal fortitude to do so .... you deserve respect and kudos for doing so.
I hope you find an employer/trainer who is prepared to pay you what you are worth and who recognises your life and work place experience the only way that really counts .... with $ .
