I want my son to get an engineering degree, but don’t want him to live in a large city after working. I want him to live in a small white town. Is this possible? Engineering choices are still open - electrical, mechanical, etc. Are there many remote opportunities for this job?

Yes. Civil Engineers are needed absolutely everywhere. Every bit of the modified landscape (roads, residential subdivisions, retaining walls, berms, etc...) has been worked on by a private engineering firm (hired by the developer) and approved by a government engineer (city or county, depends on the local government situation). The same is true for every building bigger than a house.

Other engineers are more concentrated, but not necessarily in cities. For example, if a factory makes car parts then it will have a mechanical engineer, and maybe some other types of engineers.
