Perception of an engineering degree outside of the US

<p>I know banks/financial institutions like engineers in the US, what about outside of the US? I've been told that it's similar here in Canada.</p>

<p>I want to work outside of North America, particularly Asia. It seems that most financial institutions look for business grads. How will my engineering degree be perceived? I hope somebody here has (or knows people who have) international experience.</p>
