JOB OUTLOOK, HELP, BUSINESS, MFE, FINANCE, ACCOUNTING FORECAST JOB

Hello everyone,

Recently I had to retreat from my journey for medical due to certain family occurrences which have shifted me to a path of business, strictly due to time constraint. Hence, I am interested in knowing your perspectives on which major/masters is a better combination in terms of a proactive long term investment. One which would supplement a healthy lifestyle for me and a family, where I don't really need to worry about finances (how would the jobs/salaries/lifestyle etc... be?) and in which I can donate for surgeries overseas, finance childrens educations, etc.. Perhaps adopt 1-2 in 15-20 years time. I wasn't pursuing to become a surgeon for the money but the skillset and salary from it would've definitely helped me in changing peoples lives. Now I must pick something in these following fields which would help me pay for a few surgeries yearly and live a good lifestyle. Overall, how would each combination forecast my life's goals and options? If it helps, I am 22 years of age, live with my mother and will be for some time due to family issues (no shame in it, I love mi moms :D), and my monthly bills account to 1000.

1) Keep it simple, do accounting and graduate early, collect work experience with big 4, followed by MBA and CPA
2) Major in Financial Engineering and seek employment OR apply for MFE and then work
3) Major in Math or Financial Engineering and complete MF

I have posted here before and conducted research online but I would still appreciate more insight from people with experience, thank you for all of your inputs in advance :-)
