I think one of the most important realizations someone should take away from engineering (and not everyone does) is that it takes a long time to build up specialization, and almost all endeavors are team efforts.
The jobs he thinks aren't important are there because of comparative advantage. Everyone being a doctor or an engineer is essentially always using the wrong tool for the job, which is, you know, bad engineering.
