For the first time in years, Maycomb endures a real winter. There is even light snowfall, an event rare enough for school to be closed. Jem and Scout haul as much snow as they could from Miss Maudie’s yard to their own. Since there is not enough snow to make a real snowman, they build a small figure out of dirt and cover it with snow. They make it look like Mr. Avery, an unpleasant man who lives down the street. The figure’s likeness to Mr. Avery is so strong that Atticus demands that they disguise it. Jem places Miss Maudie’s sunhat on its head and sticks her hedge clippers in its hands, much to her chagrin.

Its when Jem builds the snowman and replicates Mr Avery. Then Atticus says that to him. I think its because Jem has showed signs in the past that he wants to do what Atticus does; law, not sure about engineer and portrait painter as Jem has shown that he is artistic when he builds the snowman. Actually I think he says engineer as its something completely different from the other 2 jobs he mentions, which exaggerates the diversity of Jem's future.
