Well, I have seen many kids graduating in Electrical Engineering and ended up having to go back to school for a different degree as the job prospects were close to nothing. EE may be hot in developing countries or a manufacturing economies. I can tell you that it is not so in North America, especially when the whole manufacturing sector is doing so badly and is literally being moved to China and other parts of Asia. As a matter of fact, it is highly likely that you would end up with nothing in this part of the world if you graduate in one of the traditional engineering fields. And Mr. Bigbang, just for your information, I actually have a degree in EE.
