Well, I would try reading all you can on the various engineering disciplines.

Print out all the wikipedia articles and relevant google pages on each one, and search Youtube for cool videos showing what is being done in each field. Read everything in your stack.

Then make your decision.

As for money, pretty much any engineer does well.
