So my new decision is to find someway to pack my bags and go do some useful engineering to people who really need solutions but don't have the means somewhere on the planet.

I have my engineering degree and a couple of PM experience, but I want to get out of the office and go help on the field.

Any suggestions? Or should I just find a position abroad with some large company?

Thank you !
