<p>collegebound: it is important that you asked whether you could get rich with an engineering DEGREE, as opposed to “working as an engineer”. For eventually making a lot of money, a BS in engineering is as good as any other degree, and maybe one of the best. This is because with an engineering degree you are pretty much wide open to pursue anything you would like. However, you are extremely unlikely to get rich working in a company in an engineering function. You should, however, make a reasonably comfortable living if you’re good at it.</p>
