So what would be the first step in becoming a quantum engineer?

In my opinion, browse youtube for "microsoft q#" and check out their quantum development kit.

There will be the quantum mechanic quants that build new algorithms, but I think the Q# kit will be the SciKit of quantum and getting familiar with the classes and methods they provide will be a good step towards future-employability.

You start as a quantum mechanic, and once you're confidently wielding your quantum wrench, you start attending classes at quantum night school.

Either learn the mathematics if you're interested in the software side, or learn the physics if you're interested in the hardware side.

Seconded, how do you get started with quantum algorithms, architecture, etc...
