      UN volunteers is also a thing.

      Work for an NGO that does overseas work.

      Most were funded by USAID, so that’s a job market that’s beyond saturated right now.

        It is not easy to be accepted into a foreign legion. Most who are accepted have military experience, a high level of physical fitness and limited family ties in their country of origin.

        Ukraine’s foreign legion is an exception in that they currently accept people willing/able to help build drones. If going the foreign legion route, I strongly recommend considering Ukraine first, as they currently have the widest availability of job categories.

        I’ve seen a lot of suggestions to join NGO’s. Ukraine also has a lot of NGO options, but those jobs can be significantly more dangerous than building drones. NGO’s are frequently targeted by invaders as NGO’s often operate in active areas to serve locals where the help is most needed.
