Business is one area that can pay quite well. Mortgage brokers can do well for themselves without any degree, as can real estate agents, at least when the housing market is doing well.
Your statement that you feel well compensated after four years is telling though. Engineering does pay quite well, especially after a few years of experience. The down side is that there's quite a bit less "upside potential" than in some other fields.
I have no complaints though. I can earn a living doing something that I enjoy. I hope you continue to feel the same.
