Sorry, I can't give you any sound advise, but I would like to say I know what you are going through - I'll soon be 40, and I' ve had a career break, and I am a foreigner - just keep on trying - if you are worth something it will get recognised earlier or later - don't give up.
If you can consider carrying on being a s/w engineer have a look at the web site of the company I am working for - www.eldon.co.uk. It is nothing to do with Nuclear Engineering, but they are not bothered about one's age - more about one's qualifications and natural abilities - and they love the mixture of software development experience and wider engineering skills.
