my advice: everything is controled by ourselves
Don't say something should be so. Don't say please tell me what to do. Don't say this is not the futhre.
Everything is controled by ourselves. No one prevents you from doing the things you want.
Then, just do whatever you think right.
So your question "how is the future of engineers" should be answered by yourself.
Others' answers are meaningless to you. A thousand people could have a thousand answers. But the most important one is your own answer.
So, go ahead....
