yeah... its a good field.. and u definately need maths background.. in electrical engineering, there is definately  brighter  future for  digital and mixed signal guys. the pay off is real good but u have to get in good school. Being an engineer, u need to be more competitive out in real world to survive and better uni. definatley prepares u for that.. since u r already in community college, i suppose u have good grades enough to get transfer to good colleges.
