Can second that, most engineers are well sought after in Germany at least, especially IT, electric/electronic and chemical.
Traditional mechanical engineer needs additional stuff to be profilic.
To me, In my professional life I am a mix between quality and sales engineer specialized in aerospace materials for a steel company.
Thinking about doing an MBA in the near future and essentially do both the sales and the technical stuff, but we will see.

I'm a programmer (Front End) as for my passion, well "" sadly "" it's also programming, so once i finish work i generally start a new project xD
I can code and try learning new stuff for hours and hours, i really love it but at the end of the day my eyes are legit screaming
I'm currently trying to really get more seriously into back end stuff ( once they'll finish releasing a Javascript framework each week )

I am currently studying Kinesiology and plan to become a physiotherapist. As for work I teach swimming classes and lifeguard; I also just applied to become a pool supervisor so fingers crossed on that. I'm also a competitive ballroom dancer and I've been doing that for over a decade.
Basically my goal in life is to promote healthy active living and support people in need. Idk I just don't want to die without giving something back to the world. ✌️

Quality is always good (though boring) because the quality management systems are getting more and more complex.
Engineers with commercial knowledge are well sought after for positions like technical purchasing, technical marketing and so forth.
Mechanical engineers with specification energy (possible at every Uni more or less) works well.
But the traditional construction or heavy industry mechanical engineer is tougher.
Edit: Sorry missed the pay part. Always depends on the field and size of the company. If your company is unionized, you will very early on earn more than 90% of the population (if you can believe statistics) with very limited hours of working (for me it was 35h/week) with a status of trainee until you reach a level where your contribution and level of expertise are great enough that the company says they will pay you significantly more, but you wont have an upper limit of working time except the mandatory limit by the government (though sometimes even that is exceeded).
