I know that a lot of people would disagree with this, but having gotten an EE degree I can say that it was one of the most important things I ever did in my life. It was hard. But it was transformative. An engineering degree forces you to learn how to identify problems, use science, use math, solve problems, be creative, work together and most importantly cut corners to get to usable solutions as quickly as possible.

I took 5 years and did a co-op job experience with my degree. I was able to socialize a little, but I’m not going to lie—-the program demands a lot of study time. So there isn’t much time for partying on weeknights.

With an engineering degree, you can go and do so many different things for work. I can’t imagine the skills you learn ever getting stale. And it’s great for future entrepreneurs.

Why? Do you see a nascent boom in hardware? EE isn't particularly useful in the software world.
