Haha, funny you said something about that. I actually looked at University of Auckland's program, it just isn't the same caliber as American schools. Or maybe they don't have the major industries that attract those jobs. Even so, engineers get compensated EXTREMELY well in New Zealand, presumably because they suffer from such a shortage of engineering programs -- a lot are Australian ex-pats. The jobs I saw were commanding salaries of about $120,000 NZD, pretty ample for even a mid-career professional.
Actually, I think Seltzer should know way more than I do about it.
