Engineering B.S. + M.S vs. Physics B.S. + Engineering M.S.

I’ve recently been accepted to UCSB and UCSD (Really excited) , but I was admitted for undeclared for both after applying for engineering. However, I found that UCSD has non-impacted engineering majors that I would be able to declare ( At least I believe so). Unfortunately, UCSB doesn’t.

I’ve been stuck trying to decide between these two colleges since I prefer UCSB but I would have to take physics which I could then use for an engineering M.S.

my question is: Is a masters in engineering a recommended requirement before searching for an entry level job in engineering? Or would it be easier to attend UCSD for an engineering B.S. , find a job, and then attain my masters?
