Yes, I told my nephew not to become a Mechanical Engineer for the same

They can't offshore that.

Why not?

One of the reasons that engineers are disappearing from the
marketplace is because a lot of them are getting sick of the lack of
job stability, declining pay, and generally poor workplace
environments that have come into being in recent years and have left
the profession for other vocations. I know of several that did that
here in Idaho.

What fields did they go into?
