just help.....

Go for the solid engineering degree. I am an engineer and have never met someone with an engineering management degree. All engineering managers I have known were engineers for several years within their specific discipline. I would also expect that the engineering degree will give you more options throughout life. If you prefer management, I would get a bachelors degree plus an MBA. Then you could manage in a wider variety of fields. rgb

I'd say get your electrical engineering bachelor degree. Once you have some real world experience, consider going back to school to get your Master of Business Administration(MBA) degree. Often times companies will pay for your education while pursuing an MBA degree. There are plenty of MBA programs that have convenient class schedules (night classes). This, of course, means that you can still work full time while enhancing your career. As a future computer engineering graduate, this is the path I intend to follow. Good luck.

Electrical engineering.
It would be difficult for you to get a management job in engineering without some experience under your belt.
Get the EE degree, get some experience and credibility and more than likely you will have the opportunity to move into management anyway.

Believe me, you're not going to walk out of college and get an engineering management job at any company that's going to succeed. You have to know what the people you manage are doing so you can manage them and size new work. Where I am, I don't see anyone going into engineering management with under 10 years of technical work under their belts.

i'm a mechanical engineer and i'd say all types of engineers are in high demand. for some reason not a lot of people are entering these fields. between electrical and management it depends. there are probably more jobs for electrical engineers, but more money in management.
