Seriously your argument is super cui. Yes he said go mrt observe. You're the one who brought car in in the first place. Why didn't you stay within the boundary? What makes you think people from the finance industry wouldn't upgrade into a car? I don't agree with what he is saying but your poor argument skill is doing you no favors.

Now between engineering and finance, you should choose the one you have the passion for. Don't look at lifestyle and etc. engineers in general makes more than enough to have a comfortable life. Choosing a industry base on where the money is will just cause you to burn out and reach mid life crisis even faster.
