Just to try to help here: have you considered applying for a job abroad? There's a few countries that have labour shortages in a lot of areas, mostly European countries.
Yeah I have, and I'm in the US so I would be literally thrilled to work abroad or otherwise get out of here.
Not that it really matters to speak other languages, but it does help.
I know that a lot of German companies constantly need new personell and have a lot of engineering firms (I believe you study /have studied engineering)
Yeah I am studying engineering. I have a bachelor's so far but I'm doing a master's now and I'd do a PhD if money/employment wasn't an issue. I'll look into German companies (again).
As for PhDs, I don't know the system in the USA, in Germany you can become a part-time teacher for your subject at university. Which means that your PhD is free and you get payed a little, normally enough to provide for your everyday and rent. Maybe there are doctorate programs geared towards US students.
Also maybe this info by the German Federal Ministry for Foreign Affairs can be helpful.
If you have any further questions on working in Germany, pls do consider asking on the English-speaking German subreddits for further information. They are quite a big community and should be able to offer more info and in particular more detailed info for your craft.
Anyhow I wish you good luck and maybe we can welcome you in Germany.
