Rick’s Answer

Most employers require electrical engineers to hold a bachelor's degree from a school accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), but some colleges still offer associate programs in electrical engineering to serve as a stepping-stone to a four-year degree

recommended to be competitive - continue education beyond with Masters or multiple degrees that go hand in hand. like Network engineering or mechanical engineering.
