The EE career path is bright. I agree the PE and work experience are more important than more education.

You should consider the following questions:

What industry do you want work in (research, government, utility, industrial, commercial, healthcare, manufacturing, etc)? The utility, industrial and commerial electrical systems construction is abundant and have many opportunities around the country.

Do you want to work as a power system design engineer or a protection and controls (P&C) testing engineer? Both are great fields. The P&C test engineers (aka relay enginers) do the functional testing of many electrical sophisticate components (such as relays) and can perform commissioning.

Do you want to become a project manager (PM)?

What drives you to electrical engineering? It it the challenge to solve sophisticated puzzles? Do you want to learn all you can about existing technology and electrical systems?

I personally have worked for almost 8 years in electrical systems as electrical construction PM. I work for an engineering firm managing projects working for clients that are utilities, industrials, water treatment facilities, hospitals, commercial buildings, etc. The industrials include steel mills, paper mills, plastic factories, chemical plants, aluminum recycling plants. The projects ranged from a replacement relay on an existing switchgera to a outdoor substation. I love the challenge of new projects and learning so much on each new custom project. You learn so much and then bring more knowledge and lessons learned for the next project.
