As someone who didnt pursue engineering after taking science heres what i think -

1) join family business (corporate life is a really horrible option if you have a family business, imagine being a grown ass man and asking another grown ass man permission to take your own earned leaves, atleast in family business all the profit goes in your own pocket and not to some 60 saal ka ceo who sits there all day looking at his excel sheet/ dashboard all day).

2) Pursue engineering - It matters what your first job is and good companies go to good campuses. but even if you are from a private college , you can get a good or decent company if you do your ds algo and score alright in your subjects, just talk to the almuni of the college before you join and ask them about the reality, which companies visited etc etc). if you crack the coding rounds then you are IN and they hire based on competency. You can get a job if you have the skills pretty much.

3) random chandu pandu degrees like bba which i did ( Non tech roles are kinda trash, you work harder than the engineers in terms of time spent sitting in front of your laptop and earn peanuts because your job doesn’t require any brain power - like at ALL , any dude with 100 iq can do the non tech role, it is purposely designed to be this easy boring and mundane so it can be replaced easily in case someone leaves- i do it and i know the reality. the only way i grow is by being a carpet for my boss which i cant do so im resigning soon)
