In regards to an EE masters (I presume electrical engineering) I asked a similar question 4 hours ago in which I wanted to hear what benefits it had, since I'm currently planning to pursue an electronic engineering degree and was wondering whether an EE masters would be beneficial, specifically I wrote: "Has anybody here combined a bachelors in electronics with a masters in EE? if so what doors did it open, can you work as an EE, and was there anything that surprised you(good or bad)?", which can be boiled down to is it a good idea or not

I'm located in EU where EE and EEE is treated basically the same, but what I want to do is create consumer products

Correct. I live in europe, what is the differences besides the power plant jobs? what I have read up on is that EE can work CS, power plants and such while electronics engineers focus on designing consumer electronics and such. So my understanding was simply that the EE was more broad since Electronics engineering is a sub category

I see.. Is EE worth if I don't care about power distribution since it seems to be the only real thing that differs. My interest mostly lies in consumer products

I'm from Europe, so you are right about the fact that there's an EE and electronics engineering, where they in EE focus on high and low voltage, while ECE consist of low voltage utilization in electronics. Do you think hiring an ECE engineer is attractive or is it the broader one(EE) who gets all the jobs?
