>Is EE/CE a meme?
For the most part yes. Salaries are not as big as people tell you, most paths are dead end as you only get to fill one very specific role. You can't climb up the corporate ladder easily and getting a job without 4 years of experience right out of college is hell.

>I was told that as engineer you can pick up business skill as you go along, the opposite not being true for business grads.
EE/CE means that at least you have a decent quantitative background so I think that's to some degree true which is why I'm doing a minor in econ. I have no time to double major in finance but I'm doing my best to get out of this sinking fucking ship. Fuck anyone who tells you that STEM is a way to go. If you are in the US (or any first world country who am I kidding) just pick any career field that deals with money and you should be golden.

>Enjoy doing boring ass monkey work in some cubicle
I'd rather do one repetitive task and have tons of free time to mess around online instead of using my brain 100% of the time and getting paid less. Also
>implying you wont be working in a cubicle as an EE/CE major
I've had a number of internships and if you are in design believe me youll be stuck in a cubicle staring at your computer screen. Any other branch such as being an electrician is not worth is as youll be getting paid less. Engineering jobs also have 0 prestige.

>Job prospects are great if you network decently in uni.
Keep coping, thats only true if you are an ivy league graduate.
