Believe it or not, there's a shortage of electrical engineers. Lots of people who can program, not enough know how to actually build and test circuits. With the increased demand for electrification and the infrastructure investments needed to bring that about, EEs will be in high demand.

There's also a growing demand for civil engineers.

Be careful with this, this is why people with high incomes work instead of being with their family. When you're a lawyer and you bill $1000/hr, you start looking at the opportunity cost of your kid's recital.

In Boston and many other cities, neighborhoods were demolished for "urban renewal" and highways cut through them. The highways take up valuable space, make transportation infrastructure more car-dependent, and segregated neighbors along class and racial lines. Yes, 2021 > 1969, but we're still living with the repercussions of the choices our forefathers made 50+ years ago, and we need to make better choices now for the next 50 years.
