By invoking the notion of being more attractive to employers you have already limited your future. What about the possibility of you being the employer? You may change your mind in the near future and see other possibilities that go beyond being an employee. There's nothing wrong with being an employee but your further education might allow for more possibilities. Engineering can be a viable minor at a college or university while it allows you to explore more possibilities as far as what your future career might be. Don't narrow your potential so soon. A liberal arts or engineering parallel field of study can be much more valuable in the future.

 I taught at Columbia University, Columbia College and Barnard College and watched the careers of many of my students. Those that saved specialization until later in their lives all turned out to be the happiest with their education and the success of their careers.
 

 Good luck!
