Nope, I got an Engineering degree. Yours is the Trivial Pursuit path.

Posit: a degree in electrical engineering is obsolete the day it is
issued. A degree in mechanical engineering, however, is not.

That's not really true except at the nuts and bolts device level. All
engineering, and especially electrical, is actually the study of
applied mathematics. That never becomes obsolete because the
underlying phenomena are based on the laws of physics.

Many electrical/electronic types go on to get physics degrees in post
grad studies.

Not as many mechanical types follow that path in my experience.
