I became disillusioned with EE when I worked with a bunch of EEs (mostly MS EE, I think) at a software company. It was the same mix of people who know what they're doing and people who have just been sliding by most of their life--same mix as I found in other professions. I was hired because I was a programmer who knew enough about EE to be dangerous.
That said, the people I know who work in EE in aerospace seem to have an uphill-both-ways job experience, in terms of all the documentation and justification they do for their designs. There's a revolving door of new hires, and every once in a while somebody will get hired and actually stick it out.
