Of the engineers I know, most eventually sold out to become business yuppies or finance bros. One became an architect which is pretty tight. One douche actually really liked his gig of being employed by a mining firm, cuz he got to see all the big trucks and make fun of the overworked miners while being on the inflated white-collar payroll of the extraction industry. But he decided that it wasn't exploitative enough to make the weekly flights to the middle of nowhere worth it, so he switched to finance and became a crypto bro. God that dude sucks.
