Engineering: work at home or abroad?

    Hi all,

    Looking for a bit of advice. I'm currently in the final stages on my PhD and don't have a clue what to do with myself next year! Undergrad is in Mech engineering and postgrad is in mech/materials/computational engineering. I've been checking out whats available. Could possibly get a graduate job in the bio-pharm industry in Ireland. Other vacancies in Germany/Netherlands (I have no foreign language). I could always try the Oz/Canada options too. I'd prob prefer to stay in Ireland, although I have nothing holding me down here, but the money is prob one and a half times better elsewhere and the cost of living is lower too.
    So I was wondering what the average wage would be for a PhD qualified engineer with no industry experience? I just want to know what to ask for if I am asked! Also I'd like to know what people think of living and working in engineering abroad? Any advice/recommendations are welcome and will go a long way to deciding what I do!

    Thanks in advance ;)
