Expert opinions on the best states for senior facilities engineers
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for senior facilities engineers to find work opportunities?

Within the field of land surveying and related employment opportunities, work is available. However, in my experience, work may not be in the exact location a person wishes to live. So, a move may be necessary, or potentially traveling to where the work is located. Should a graduate, or person for that matter, want to work, work is available.
