Hello there, i am from brazil and i will be graduating in mechanical engineering next year.
i really want to live outside brazil and i would go to US or australia. thus, i want to know how could i achieve that, in terms of diploma validation and what are the best areas of mechanical engineering to work in the US, specially in California.
here in brazil, I'm doing an internship in a thermal power plant moved by sugar cane, and already did one in a turbine design factory. i find energy and thermal areas my preference of interest.
