For a while, there was a shortage of elementary school teachers, and the daughter of some friends, who had loved her study abroad time in England, hurried to get an el. ed. certification so that she could legally emigrate.

But the list keeps changing all the time. I don't remember the website, but googling "UK shortage occupations" may be helpful.

As an engineer, you may qualify for admission to any of a number of countries.
