Can always go back, and become an engineer that ponders the meaning to be whilst performing work useful to society.

That's what I have, but it's not too late to change course. You don't have to go back to college, either. Self-study what you want to do, attend networking events, and start making connections. Easier said than done, I know.

i feel like this is a viable option for computer programming or something, i don't know how well it would work for something like engineering. anyway i'm working on a masters degree in social work right now so idk

I can answer this one!

Engineers are overpaid, incompetent fuck-ups who spend half their day sipping coffee while everyone else has to fix their mistakes.

This is true for most professional occupations.

I've met a lot of worthless engineers but the few that are good, damn they are good.
