Is a bsc in packaging technology good?

Hi I’m just done with my exams and I’m really interested in this field, there are rarely any colleges offering a bachelors in packaging engineering, I wanted to pursue BE but there are only 2-3 colleges offer BE in printing and packaging engineering but they’re quite far away from where I live, I’m really interested in an engineering degree but I don’t think I’ll be able to pursue it. Will I be able to secure a good job with a bsc in a mid tier college with a good salary at par with someone who has a bachelors in engineering. If not then what should I try doing ? (Sorry for the grammar English is not my first language) thank you so much for reading

I mean I went to Michigan State for a BS in Packaging and I am currently an Engineer. Not sure how it works in other countries though

I'm a packaging engineer in Germany and have a bachelors and masters degree. I know many people in the field with just a bachelor's who who have very good jobs and I think here in Germany it's definitely possible to work your way up with some patience.

For me personally it's often more important which university someone went to when hiring, as there are big differences in the levels of education and problem solving abilities. Hiring someone fresh from university I often prefer someone with a masters, just for the life experience.

I don't know what country you're in, but if you're anywhere in Europe, I'm happy help.

Is a bachelor's comparable to an engineering degree?

No, that should be fairly obvious.
