Engineering How to get back and build Engineering Career

[ISUME]

Hello everyone, I've difficulty on finding a path to my engineering career. I've a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from a reputable top 50 engineering program U.S. university. I'm certain that I've fully capabled to cover entry-level engineering responsibilities and climb up to the top from there. The problem is that I've not had luck finding a job due to personal reason in the past. Since graduation, I've been working at any low paying jobs to pay bills. It's now 6 years past and I realize that it is impossible for me to get even an entry-level job especially, in this kinda economy. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've been thinking that maybe there are still options available so that I can get back into the right path:
1. Go back to college get M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or Other related degree or,
2. Take some engineering related courses for community college so I can get an entry-level job or,
3. Get FE certification.

Other than that, I don't know what else to do and I'm not 100% sure if by taking one of the option will work as plan. Besides, school funding might be a problem. Please help, I need some advice. Thanks in Advance.

In this economic environment, I think you need additional education to make an argument that you have viable engineering skills. The easiest option on your list is #2; and additionally, speak to the career services people at the school and get advice from them on how best to plan.

2. Take some engineering related courses for community college so I can get an entry-level job
