Warning: I'm not an EE

yes, but, what about the many ETs and EETs ?.. A EET is almost a more of
a hands on EE: less theory but more breadboarding and practical
knowledge. ETs, EETs, and EEs work hand in hand in industry, and saying
that one is better than the other (at least in EE vs EET) is like saying
a tomato is red and a bell pepper is green. Apples and oranges, so to
speak.

Some of us didnt have the resources available to finish our EE, so, to
get into the job market sooner, went with ET and EET degrees..Its hard
to rank ppl with degrees.. I know EEs who can't change the oil on a car,
and I know ETs who can't figure out why a mux acts erratically. (me,
gotta put the inhibit line low, gotta put inhibit line low...) :)) 

Also, there are many places where they foregoe the EE altogether and get
an electro-physics major to do most of the design work. But, we also
cannot discredit electrophysics when it comes to design work.
