You may be looking in the wrong place. Many people on this site are hobbyists. Others are self-taught and come to the field through their own curiosity, not through academia. Only a very few would be able to give you advice regarding the standard, official career path in engineering.

I've hired (and fired) engineers, and what I know about the field I gleaned from them. If you really want my opinion, I would say study Art, Music, and Poetry and divest yourself of limitations. Start dreaming, and then get into engineering. I'm sure that's not the sort of advice you are looking for, and it probably won't help you even a little bit, but you asked for it.
