Most ET students that I have run across just have a different interest than the more traditional engineering students. Most ET students I know get a similar education but more focused on putting the concepts to use than on the science and math that drives the concepts. The thing is, most engineers can do the job of an ET as well, or nearly as well, as an ET can, but most ETs cannot necessarily do the job of an engineer.

Am I generalizing? Yes, but this situation calls for a generalization. Bottom line, though, is go for the degree you want to get. I cannot stress enough how much more important it is to be in the right degree for you instead of the right degree according to everyone else.
