Unfortunately the hard truth is that some one with an electrical engineering degree will get the job over some one with a electrical engineering technology degree.
There are always exceptions and you may be one.
If you're not about ready to graduate, I would seriously consider trying to get into the EE department. Sure it will add a little time to college, but hey college is better than working.
It's do-able. I did it. I switched into EE from EET. There are just that many more job opportunities.
Good luck

Do you mean Electrical Engineering? I have a BSEE along with an MBA and haven’t worked in 2 years. You will be competing with young graduates from India that have PhD’s and are only 26 years old and will work for 25K per year.
Best to learn how to say “Super Size that Mam?”.
I know that most people will rate this bad but unfortunately it is true. When the Democrats opened the floodgates for free trade in the mid 70’s they also opened the door for companies to sponsor as many foreigners as they want. I’m not saying that you won’t get a job but try to realize whom you are competing against. Make certain that you do not go into manufacturing. Get some military service under your belt, preferably in a war zone (that hasn’t helped me but it couldn’t hurt) and then try to get a job with the department of interior. Learn as much as you can about power grids and water turbines.

I am currently 3 classes away from a degree in that field at UCF. The field of study should be Electrical and because my school seems limited at the moment as far as classes, I am taking optics/communications. I love RF engineering and I am working for a company that calibrates laser measuring equipment and GPS. The jobs you can get will be endless, depending on how flexible you are and what you pursue after graduation. I have a strong mechanical background, so I always come across as electro-mechanical. I'll include a link to the school site that breaks down areas you can pursue....hope it helps...sorry for the mass info.

they are not a similar degree. The EET degree isn't as finished in concept as an EE degree yet superior in fingers-on. In my case, it actually took 3 years to get the EET (DeVry). the corporate that employed me then paid for my MSEE so the EET did not carry me back. My modern-day company would probable want the EET using fingers-on journey. if you're uncertain, i'd propose the EE as being more desirable finished.

You could work for a computer processor company such as intel.
