I have been an electrical engineer for close to twenty years. I have never been unemployed. There were times when I thought I would be, but if you keep your skills current, your resume up to date, and are good at what you do, you can find work in this field.
Electrical Engineers have a very wide range of specialty areas in which to work. One can choose to concentrate in an area that almost falls under a Computer Science degree by focusing on computer oriented courses and learning more about programming languages, computer architectures, etc. At the other end of the extreme, one can focus on electromagnetic wave propagation or semiconductor theory and specialize in an area that is closely related to a Physics and Chemistry degree. In between these are analog and digital circuit design (my favorite), power systems engineering, electrical machines, control theory, communications, and systems. Most electrical engineers are exposed to a little of each specialty as part of their BSEE degree program, and then have elective classes which they choose to apply towards the areas that interest them the most.
Currently, the hot areas in my chosen specialty include digital signal processing, designs using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and low power circuit design.
As an electrical engineer, I have worked on a broad range of projects. These have ranged from laser communications, laser radar, and industrial laser systems, to thermal chambers for growing tissue cultures, to gamma radiation and neutron radiation measurement systems. I strongly believe there is demand in this field.

Definitely. Especially in the US where there is a real shortage of students majoring in math and science. Or you could study business like everyone else and manage a Supercuts franchise for 1/3 the salary. The college parties are better.

To answer this question, one has to understand what electrical engineers do. Best to talk to a career counselor than ask stranger on the web. Would you ask anyone on the street to diagnose your medical problem?

It’s a more difficult degree than some of the other fields. However, any career related to utilities like water and power are going to be stable.

If anything, it will be even more in demand as time goes on. Good money in it, but a lot of hard work to get that degree. Be sure you want to commit that kind of dedication towards it.

Yes. I'm an EE and worked hard to get where I'm now.
Early on I had a supervisor who said you can teach a EE software, but you can't teach anyone else hardware.
So do it, you'll make a good career.
