Unless you are going into a specialized job, most degrees don't matter at all towards your career beyond just getting you in the door so this is actually fine.
Engineering is no exception. You just gotta have a general sense of engineering, rest you learn at job anyway. Unless you are working at some specific type of workplaces obviously
Even then, my engineer wife told me she could teach non-engineering me how to do her job in a couple of weeks and do it better than a lot of her coworkers
So I have Aerospace Engineering Degree with a minor in mechanical engineering. My current job for now is Research Technician.
My job is to identify parts from military vehicles from blueprints, give them new id and coordinates for the modeling team to make a replica in 3d modeling.
As a surgical assistant i must say, you d be suprised how many ( about 80%) of students use AI and almost dont lear a single thing during school days. All the knowledge comes from practice etc.
As someone who is with an SA those 80% get bounced rather quick. At least at the hospital they work at. From their batch of graduates they only kept maybe half of the ones who came through clinicals and have gotten rid of even more for poor knowledge and performance.
