Talking about my country, it seems more young people prefer to be an influencer than a engineer, in the end most of them can’t become an influencer and so they also don’t become engineers

Perfectly rational when becoming an "influencer" is an easier decision to make with little/no downside if it doesn't work out, where as becoming an engineer requires a significant time and money (tuition fees) investment for something that's not actually all that well rewarded outside of a very specific niche (_software_ engineering) in the US.
