Let’s keep this on topic asshat. He asked about an engineering degree.
On topic:
Like everyone else said engineering is a HUGE field. My father went to trade school for drafting from 1980- 1982. When he graduated he was drawing and designing bridges for cities across the world. He also went to school for civil engineering. (or maybe at the time the programs were together?) However, as technology changed he was being hired by kids who new how to use Auto CAD and other software. Being that my father was a great worker but couldnt use a computer to do drawings he was promoted. To this day he still helps with the design of bridge parts. (Expansion joints and bearings to be exact) However, he is the big man on the totem pole nowadays.
Thats one success story with engineering.
Another story would be a friend of mine who graduated from Pitt in the top of the class for mechanical engineering and has to relocate across country to find a job. He claims its harder to find jobs in his area lately. (I’m not sure exactly what he wants to do wit hthe degree but thats what he claims)
It all depends on what you choose and what you choose to do with it.
