If you can only choose between these, I agree.

But being an engineer who contributes to industry, you can better the world through massively adopted technology.

If you are a road worker and you fix a hole in the road, it might contribute to thousands of cases of vehicles needing repair later.

If you work on battery systems, auto-pilot, or logistics, you can reduce consumption on a massive scale.
