I would say engineering is a safe bet, but capable risk takers in other disciplines will be richly rewarded IF they succeed.

That said, an easier path would to be to do sales. You don't even need a degree. Just look at the successful property and insurance agents, or those commission-based sales / accounts manager in big companies. Many make more than 15K and don't even have a degree. And there are many such positions available, unlike just "1 finance director in 1 MNC".
