I'll graduate this summer with a BSEE. Or, I may stay two extra semesters and graduate with a MSCE and a BSEE with a minor in finance. I haven't decided yet. The problem with the MSCE is that I have NO interest in software development whatsoever and I don't know if I even want a degree with "computer" in the title.
Ever since I was first exposed to 3-phase power distribution I have been fascinated with the subject. I've taken every elective that even touches the subject, including: "electric power systems", "electrical machines" and "photovoltaic power systems". This is the field I'd like to work in, preferably spending some time working outside, a field engineer of some sort.
Maybe I'll freepmail you a resume one of these days. :)

Think about it carefully before persuing the masters. Many folks in my field tend to be very sceptical of candidates with advanced degrees. There is no pay differential, so the perception is the guy/gal isn't going to hang around long.

A few months prior, I had been in an electronics lab dealing with 3 milliamps and 5 volts. Six orders of magnitude is something to behold.
