It’s definitely not just about money, as I have other paths to achieve more money, faster. My other big factors include: Knowledge, way of life, and the influence that I may be able to have on my kid, community, and an international community (I don’t know if I’m maybe deceiving myself with this, but I do imagine that engineers are in contact with great minds at least some of the time, are they not?) I’m just taking a while to decide on this because I know it is a TON to take on and I don’t want to be an idealist and make a bad mistake. My intentions are right, but I need to verify that my logic is.

I think you are deceiving yourself on this. I am not sure what kind of effect you could have on the international community as an ME in a plant.

These are absolutely great reasons to go back. Being an example for my kid and feeling like I was not a failure who wasted potential were huge reasons for me to go back. I was the first male in my family to finish college, all previous generations had dropped out.

Its not a mistake so long as you finish, at least in something. It may not be the perfect scenario from an RIO standpoint, but being an example for you kid is priceless.
