There are Engineering master’s degree programs, designed for students with non-engineering undergrad degrees. Examples with prereqs can be found at BU, RPI, and Northeastern among others.

When I was talking about “life style” I was not thinking about how much money you make and how much money you spend. I was thinking about the life-work balance. I was a little confused with your response. I felt like you were attacking me. I understand what you are saying, but it wasn’t my point.
Only commenting on the financial aspects, not attacking you.
My brother went to a top public school as a scholarship D1 athlete. The school does not have an engineering program (but does have a great basketball program). He was an All American in athletics multiple times, so time management was essential. He looked at majoring in math or physics, and chose math. Phi beta kappa. For him, it was a flexible degree with many choices. He went on to a PhD in Economics, but the PhD program he considered was in system’s engineering, oddly choosing the Econ program at the last minute because the facilities at the engineering school were burned in a fire, affecting TA stipends a bit. I am quite persuaded that a major in physics or math offers quite a bit of opportunity. Coming from a poverty stricken home, he made these decisions with no parental input, a valuable lesson to kids as to really owning their choices.
