Excellent Advice!!

I would also add that is probably easier to get a good paying job as an engineer than as a marketing major. If you want to go work in the oil industry (Haliburton & another one) all they care is that you have an engineering degree, doesn't matter what kind. They know that you can think, analyze data, and do math. A lot of fields benefit from those skills.
