I think it’s a personal decision only you and your family can make. For many, what may look like a good paying job immediately after college may mean hitting a ceiling in terms of income and opportunities for promotion just when many liberal arts grads are hitting their stride. Non-engineering students, including quite a few STEM fields, typically allow majors more time to consider a variety of options, including academia, business and professional degrees (like medicine, and architecture) that may in fact lead to bigger pay-offs in terms of job satisfaction in the long-term, particularly as you hit your peak earning years.
