Most pf the people whom I know who were trained as engineers got bored with it and moved into finance.
The match is the same. The pay is not.

With finance, you have to be business oriented. If you take this route chances are you'll end up in a corporate environment. You might start out as an assistant at first so be prepared to work up through the corporate ladder if you want to forward your career.
If you take the engineering route (although you didn't specify what type of engineering you were interested in... there are lots: civil, electronics, computer, industrial, chemical... the posibilities are endless) you'll most probably work in a big tech company. You'll be working in labs or in front of computers or on the field and most of the time, the atmosphere is casual.
Anyway, you're decision should be based on where you think you'll be happy. Are you the type who thrives in a formal corporate environment (go finance)? Or do you like to work in a more laid-back albeit equally challenging workplace (go engineering)? Are you result oriented (finance) or process oriented (engineering)? Pick the one that suits you and you'll go far.

It depends a bit on personality. Engineering you may have some travel, will be going to clients' places of business. Verrrry good pay if you are good.
Fianace is more of a desk job but if you want a business degree you are better off getting an accounting degree (more jobs, better pay, more respected).

Finance is better and easier. Machines and soft-wares are replacing people nowadays so I suggest you stick to finance cus today it's the corporate and business world.

Finance - does the planning
Engineering - does the work
Do you want do plan or work?

lets see:
wealth dilution or wealth creation?
not too tough a choice, go for Engineering.
