And will not be accomplished in 2-4 months. BTW your qualifications, while lovely, will not cut it in the US. DH had 36 years of computer technically experinece in the RCAF working with both the US and CAN governments and no one would touch him because he has no degree to back up the experience. He has the same or higher security clearance from both governments as well and if I read you properly, you are not a spring chicken but have to be in your 50's. Finding employment for yourself, will not be easy.

I agree. Lack of a formal degree combined with the widespread ageism prevalent in the computer industry is going to make job hunting tricky in this economic climate.
