I have degrees in Computer Engineering and Computer Science, and I am "rich" in the sense that I have a job, a home (with 10 years left on the mortgage) my wife of 32 years, 4 grown children, and 3 grandchildren so far. Our bank balance will not impress anybody, and I will probably work until I die.
Both doctors and lawyers have significant front-end costs, law and medical school are not cheap. Doctors are going broke fighting with insurance companies, although specialists can and do charge premium rates.
Lawyers seem to be doing fairly well as a profession, although there is a rising groundswell of antipathy toward lawyers, going back to Shakesphere.

All will do nicely...but it depends on the specialty...criminal lawyer vs. patent law vs. civil law....all compensate differently. Same with doctor...if you're a general practitioner you won't make nearly as much as a neurosurgeon. Engineering....what kind? Nuclear, civil, naval, mechanical, electrical....there are at least 30 different fields of engineering each requiring different core courses and all paying differently. Computer science has many different specialties as well...are you going to write software or be a systems analyst? Huge pay difference (and tons of competition from foreign workers....India especially!)

Doctors and Lawyers definitely. engineers maybe. Computer science possibly, but you will need business skills to become rich with computer science.

achieveable yet unlikely, based on the kind you define "wealthy." If all you care approximately is getting wealthy, then seem to company. You get wealthy via having human beings artwork for you and paying them below what they usher in. So, the proprietors of the regulation company make money via paying legal experts below what those legal experts soak up. The lawyer working for the corporate makes a reliable income yet heavily isn't wealthy via maximum definitions.
