I got my EE/CE degree a couple of decades ago. Although I worked as a programmer, it has been my CE degree + knowledge that has made it possible for me to get into other areas of engineering, e.g. network, embedded system, instrumentation, control, telemetry, telecommunications.

Unless you are working at chip level architectural design, the core principles haven't changed much and until we all have quantum computing based smartphones or some other comparable esoteric technology the core electronics and computer engineering principles will continue to hold relevance.
