I like Bodhi's idea....I'd seriously combine the two. It's a rarity for someone in the engineering field to excel in both the technical and social aspects of the industry......and the people that do, do quite well.
For example - my boss is a robotic genius in regard to bridge design. Nothing escapes him on the technical side. But he is totally a quirky introvert that very few people (and clients) can deal with. But if he could command both?
Personally (I'm biased) I'd go for the engineering degree first and get a Master's in business- become a professional engineer and find the right company that rewards you for bringing in new clients/marketing. You'll have the technical side covered.....you'll understand what you're selling/talking about it and TheDonna will simply melt before your mighty powers.
Or - start your own business and stick it to the man
