Anyone here have an engineering degree but chose a non engineering career?

I'm looking for some examples to share with someone who got the degree but somehow has become "allergic" to traditional engineering work.

He sees his degree as holding him back from other opportunities.


Since he regrets his choice of programs, it is giving him tunnel vision regarding other opportunities.
I've told him to think of it as just a university degree and go from there.

I'm looking for some good examples of people who have excelled in other areas, how they got into those areas and as a bonus, if the degree actually gave some sort of advantage over others in those areas.


Thanks in advance

P.S.
He's good with people, innovative with ideas, and creative.
He's also staying away from fields such as accounting, law, compliance and the like.
( I think you can see at the pattern here)
