The current economic landscape

someone explain i don't get it

I think it's something like the only way to make money in today's economy is to steal, it doesn't matter your degree or job title because you wont be able to find work.

See, here's the thing. There are so many engineering jobs opening because that's what is needed. I mean yeah you need doctors and people to work minimum wage, but when push comes to shove, eneineering is the place to major in. And, there are many versions of engineering. TL;DR: go into engineering

....because the forth steals from them?( in an indirect way)
