I did a simlar thing. Got a science degree and realized that I didn't want to become a lab tech or a career academic.

I then went to law school. If I were you I'd look into what an MBA or a law degree can do for you. These are only two year programs, and have a lot more weight than your typical undergrad degree. You don't have to be a lawyer with a law degree.

Obviously, if your heart is set on engineering, only an engineering degree will get you where you want to go. You should ask yourself is it the engineering work that interests you or do you want to work in a more practical business environment. If the latter is the case, then there are a large variety of post-grad programs that will get you where you want to go without having to re-do a bachelor's degree.
