I don’t think engineering is high-paying field anymore but gonna do it because I love it.

“High-paying” is a comparative term, and when you are comparing to other jobs you can get with just an undergraduate degree from an average university, then it definitely still is - remember that there are a heck of a lot of college graduates in the US who would be happy with $3.2k/ month before taxes! And there are certainly better-paying jobs out there, but they all come with pretty big caveats - “elite” schools, graduate degrees, variable income, insane work conditions, or lotto-like chances of getting hired.

But “because I love it” is a much better reason to do it anyway.
