How about working as an Estimator for a general contractor (especially one that focuses on MEP work). That pays well and would use you technical knowledge gained during your degree and the soft skills you have from bartending. The technical + soft skills is really sought after.
Anecdotally, I have a friend who did Civil engineering, discovered he didn’t like the design work, and then transferred to estimating and found he liked it much more. What you’re saying here sounds a lot like way he was talking before making the switch.
