Have I over-idealized Engineering?

I’m not sure what other major could prepare you for your goals any better. As for engineers entering managerial positions, I could be wrong, but I believe that happens for financial reasons - they pay better than most research positions. If you don’t mind a smaller salary, I don’t see why you couldn’t stay in research.

“My biggest fear isn’t that I fail or don’t make enough money, it’s that my existence was ultimately meaningless and I’m forgotten in the sands of time.”

Yea, try not to let that happen.
