@proto_azure Electrical engineering attracted me because it touched so many foundational areas of mathematics, physics and chemistry. It is also a very diverse field of study, so I believe it is well matched for the curious. In my career I have had the privilege of designing a high precision oscillator, anti-jam communication protocols, RF circuit design, signal processing work for 4G cellular modems, integration of satellite and aircraft flight hardware, and many other projects, and I probably wrote over 100e3 lines of matlab code.
I have since moved on to other careers, but the foundations of that education and career experience are still paying dividends.
