Not exactly in engineering, but studied computer science and currently am working in IT industry.
I can at least speak for my study: It can be difficult, but it won’t feel as much if you’re actually into it. People’s brain are built different from one another, so in the end it’s case by case and won’t apply to all.
What makes you consider engineering? I don’t mean to sound too discouraging, but if it’s easy money you’re looking for, you won’t find it here.



It surely would if it fits you. Otherwise, there are other fields with stable prospect as well.
Of course, you can choose an engineering field and then pivot to something else that you’d find to be better fit. I’ve known a lot of people who do well that way.
But yeah, if it turns out to be a good fit for you, that’s great.
