I am an electrical engineer and after 20 years of practice, I still like it and still learn new things in this field. The education needed, at least in the United States, is a BSEE from an accredited university. An MSEE is preferred in many companies and for many positions. It is rarer to find PhD electrical engineers, but I have seen it and they have opportunities as well.
The salary range for a new graduate with a BSEE is generally $50K to $65K and will depend greatly on the location and exact specialization within the field of EE.
Working conditions are generally very good and usually are office conditions. Depending on the type of engineer and company that you work for, you may have a cubicle with computer for CAD and/or a lab bench with test equipment for verifying prototype designs are working.
I really enjoy my career as an electronics engineer. I took as much math as I could in high school, as much science as I could, and I also took the advanced courses in language arts (as it was called back then). Engineers usually need to communicate with others well because contrary to the popular stereotype of a nerd working purely with numbers, engineers are often involved with making presentations to senior management, customers, and other engineers. In addition, as the engineer gains experience, they usually move upwards within companies becoming managers and executives within the company.
I started off as an Associate Engineer and moved up rapidly to Senior Engineer at McDonnell Douglas after graduating in 1987. While working as an electronics design engineer, I took evening classes paid for by the company to receive my MSEE in 1990. I have moved to several other companies and am currently Vice President of Engineering at a company with around 100 employees. I still do design as VP, but have additional responsibilities for the care and feeding of engineers in the company.
The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is a good organization for EE and supports a student membership. It provides continuing education, access to papers, conferences and publications in several specialized fields, and offers group rates for things like medical insurance, life insurance, etc. If you become a EE, it is worth joining.
If you like solving problems, want a career where you get paid to perform your hobby, like challenges, and want a decent salary, then this is a good career for you.

An honours degree is the minimum qualification. There are various chartered engineer accreditations (IEE, IEEE)
You can specialise in various areas - power, machines, electronics, systems, communications, radio.
Jobs include design, management, production.
I did an electrical engineering degree and PhD and ended up in software development - which I enjoy.
