Engineering is, in many ways, a bad job. I was a software engineer for years and can assure you that it isn't an attractive profession. Many of the tech companies I worked for where ruthless body shops with very long hours, bad management and high turn over. Nursing is also a phenomenally in-demand job which requires high amounts of education and has high standards but also has very intense working conditions. Nursing is also quite technical - you can't walk off the street and begin injecting chemicals into people without spending a significant amount of time in class. Yet we see very little push to create more white male nurses, the topic is always intensely focused on STEM.
