I read this in IEEE spectrum magazine, it seems to sum it up pretty well.
this was the conclusion of the article.

So in such a complex new industrial and educational ecology, how will we recognize EEs? By their stance, Riordan says: feet squarely planted on terra firma, but with a gaze out toward the horizon. Musing about why he became an EE, he cheerfully concedes that he didn't crave pure intellectual exploration, as the best scientists do. Nor did he have whatever turn of brain it takes to make fine art. What he had then, and has now, is "the specific ability to deal with the real world as it exists and craft things from it." Others with similar talents will find in electrical engineering a heady lifelong stimulus. Riordan concludes, "I can't think of a more fortunate path than the one I followed."
