An Engineering degree does not preclude you from doing non-engineering endeavors, and might instead help significantly towards the realization of it.
Very few things in life are so final as to be unreachable.
You don't have to choose between an engineering career and your dreams.

Example
Alternative
Gallium-68 (Ga-68)
Germanium-68 (Ge-68)
It's like Alchemy
(But it works!)
Using particle accelerators, it is possible to create critically needed ingredients for life-saving medicine at scales 100x greater than before
Used in: PET scan (positron emission tomography) to find tumors (NETs) in adults and children.
Nusano's facility can produce Ge-68 at scale from Zinc (Zn-66), a common material. Ge-68 slowly decays into Ga-68 over time.
~10k treatments annually in Europe across 100 facilities
Solving the logistics problem in cancer therapy
Medical facilities no longer need to build a cylcotron to provide PET scan treatments, as Ge-68 can be stored for up to 1 year
Obstacle: Requires a local cyclotron facility because Ga-68 has a very short half life (~1 hour)
Effective cancer treatments exist that require exotic radioisotopes, but no reliable source exists
