Money is nice to have but that will only take you so far. So try to not think too much about that. Think about things like the work environment that you would be working in. The engineer would be doing the majority of their work behind a computer or a draft board, indoors, and whatnot. The aircraft mechanic would probably do a lot more hands on tasks and get greasy. Do they have to de-ice planes too?
Also I don't know what kind of school you are going into but if you aren't too sure you might want to keep your classes pretty broad in the first year just to get a feel for what its like. I was an engineering major for about a year, not really enough to know too much about it. In that year I noticed that I really don't have the patience to deal with all the math and the vast majority of the engineering majors are their own breed. You can pick them out of crowd very easily.
Anyway aside from all my bs, basically just look at what each one does day to day and try to figure out which one of those would make you the happiest.
