This is where confluence of Medicine and Engineering will be a game changer.

Confluence of medicine, engineering and management schools will ensure that our best brains will work not for themselves but for big multinational corporations.

This is a win-win-win situation.
Individual brains will benefit from high income and physical safety.

Such needs are met better by alternative-to-medicine and spiritual gurus. They lend well to corporatisation as well.
