Who's equating? I just said they're both more reliable than humanities; that does not imply they are equal. You can overspecialize yourself out of a job in science and engineering, but at least you stand a chance.
You're implicitly equating them every time you use the phrase "science and engineering", as if they were a dual entity. They're very different, and you're far more likely to be employable as an engineer than a scientist. Totally different beasts.
It doesn't really matter whether you explicitly made the comparison or not. Science and engineering are totally different things, but you drew a bright-line distinction between them (as a group) and the humanities.
It's far easier to find a job as an engineer than as a scientist. That's all I'm saying.
