I don't. I do have something against categorical statements like "instantly finding a job anywhere in the world", that's misleading even as a figure of speech. Civil Engineers trained in Poland, Zambia and Canada would have a lot of re-training and re-certification to do before being able to practice interchangeably. Codes are different in each country and very specific. So are job markets.

Civil engineers are happily employed when the economy is good and supportive of civil projects in all market sectors (public and private), and economic segments (infrastructure, superstructure/buildings, industrial). When the economy is down, civil engineers are as much at risk as other engineers unless they are employed by the Government. I would agree though that all three levels of Government in Canada employ more civil engineers than petroleum or mechanical.
