      Shipbuilding is as global as you get. All countries own and build vessels, even land-locked ones. Same goes for power stations (which is another field that I work in).

      Charity or humanitarian work is definitely global. Disaster relief (my last speciality) takes place where a disaster has struck, and natural disasters (floods, tsunamis, earthquakes etc) are no respecters of geography. They happen wherever they do. Human conflict (like the Iraq War and Palestine) are related to special circumstances but if you look at wars today, they are all over the place. Afghanistan. Palestine. Zimbabwe (over the Marange diamonds). Somalia. and so on. Yes, my job is definitely global.

      My job is definitely done worldwide in one form or another. Wherever you have rivers, boats or flooding then I could find work.

      I also went out to work in Costa Rica and Nicaragua recently, so if there’s work for me there, then there should be work anywhere.
