Question: Should I pursue two careers at the same time? Acting and engineering?

It's far too early to even think of acting as a career. When you've had a few years at a real acting school and loads of stage experience with a community theatre, if that's a huge success, then you might consider it.

As for the engineering, as long as you can get some sort of job in that line you could work self-employed, it might be okay. But you don't need a job to fall back on - you need a job to work alongside acting - if that's the career you eventually choose. Almost all actors have to work long hours in an ordinary job their whole lives, just to earn enough to live on, and one where you can choose your own hours, days, etc, and not keep getting fired for taking a week or a month off whenever you need to, is ideal.

Typically, an actor will get no more than maybe 2 weeks' paid acting work a year - in small roles, in small productions.

Get into a good acting school, and take it from there. School stuff doesn't really count for much.
Good luck!
