When you're talking at the levels that most engineering positions are paid pretty much anywhere in the US (even lower cost of living areas), you are unlikely to qualify for need-based aid anyways. A pay cut from (lets say) 200 -> 150 is significant, but I don't believe likely to qualify a student as "low income" by any means.
