The analogy to doctors and nurses is pretty good. I started at a school for EET and switched to EE. There are a some companies that will classify an EET degree holder as a 'junior' engineer.
I would say that you have more options available if you go the EE route. You get more theory and math usually, but will be able to fill more positions in the workforce after you graduate.

If you're deciding on a major, then it's like the difference between doctors and nurses. If you like working with test equipment, pick EET. If you want to be the one making the decisions, or designing, pick Electrical Engineering. The engineers get paid more money.
In general, if a field of study has the word Technology in it, it's like an entry level position.

Hello Samuel, The difference lies in where the two majors lead you. Electrical----indicates a field where the power (electricity) does the work directly, like a drill or a blender. Electronic----indicates a field where the power (electricity) is used to activate other components such as diodes, resistors, transistors, micro-chips, etc. ON items like TV's, stereos, DVD's, radios, and, of course, computers. Decide which field you're most interested in, and choose that major,

The difference between a bulb and a calculator?
First two semesters are same ,but after that electrical engineering diverts more towards heavy electricals whereas electronics engg goes towards complex circuit systems..

Look out for the word "Technology". There are trade schools that give out a Bachelor of Technology degree which is absolutely not anywhere as good as a Bachelor of Science degree.

yep, like they've all posted, beware technology....these guys are being trained to be flunkies in the back room. The world needs them, but if you've got the aptitude, go for the elect. engineering degree....higher pay, and you can get your PE (Professional engineering license)...they cant.
