What are you looking at getting into? There's a ton of programs out there. I can't say much about the others, but engineering is a huge field. Any engineering degree will almost guarantee you a good job in the future.
I went to school for electrical engineering. Currently working in test engineering; never really realized it till recently but it's what I've been doing most of my career and I'm damn good at it. I'd love to get back into the field and work outside again, maybe doing field testing & inspection, but with my current school/work/sledding schedule that won't work out too well.
Most of my work is desk/laboratory environment... I take pre-production prototypes and design tests for the manufacturing process as well as product reliability and longevity testing. Just recently I found myself digging through my high school and college chemistry books for some molarity and concentration formulas.... all that stuff that you're forced to learn yet never think you'll use comes back to haunt you. Every project I get turns out to be real interesting in the end; I usually end up learning something new in the process whether it's an electrical circuit I put together to do something, an idea on how to mechanically assemble a test fixture, some nuance of the USB system or driver that comes in real handy but I never realized I had access to, etc. Some of the cool stuff I get to play with includes RF generators, spectrum analyzers, power meters, atomic clocks (Not those hang-on-the-wall ones, but a real rubidium-source GPS-disciplined atomic clock), data acquisition modules, telephone simulators, smart cameras, temperature/humidity controlled environmental chambers (-80 to +400°C, 2-100%RH), and almost all of it has the ability to be controlled and automated from a computer.
Key is to finding a job or career path you enjoy, but not something you enjoy recreationally. Take video game testers, for example. Gamers love playing games, and the idea of getting paid to do that really sounds nice. But when you sit down and play games all day, you'd probably get bored going home and playing games. Have to draw that line between work and play and stick with it.
Enlist in the Navy, get in the Nuke program and they will train you for a very good career. you will need to give them 4 years, but you can see the world
