Correct Answer: a blessing in disguise


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The idiom a blessing in disguise refers to a situation that seems bad or unlucky at first but turns out to be advantageous or fortunate in the long run. In this context, not pursuing a degree in computer engineering might be seen as a disadvantage initially, but the implication is that it is actually a fortunate decision due to the limited job market.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "Choosing not to pursue a degree in computer engineering was a blessing in disguise , as the market for them is extremely limited nowadays."
