if u are making your decision entirely based upon the salary, rather than your interest, then why dont u opt for Actuarial Sciences. Actuaries are in high demand in Pakistan and their starting salary is always in 6 figures. You should be extremely good in maths in order to be an actuary.
And who told u that engineers do not earn well. A cousin of mine recently completed his BS from NED University in Electrical Engineering, last year. After completing his training in Siemens Pakistan for about a year or so, he was offered a job in Saudi Arabia and is now earning extremely well over there. Infact, he is earning better than many ACCAs(and thats why he is a subject of my envy!). You cannot discount the market value of engineering so easily.
My sincere and brotherly advice to u would be, to make your decision according to the interest u have in the field and not upon salary levels. You will make good money in any field, if u are good at it. And u can only be good in the field, if u have interest in it.
