That’s a good question with many answers.
Basically, EEs design, improve, maintain and/or repair devices. The problems you face to do these will call on your accumulated knowledge and education, your life experiences as a user of devices, and your ability to at times employ your own creative skills to come up with a “better way” to do it. Regarding the mental aspects, live a balanced life in all that you do. I’ve had high pressure jobs (fixing a hospital operating room device that stopped in the middle of surgery) to laid-back design projects at a desk overlooking a sandy Hawaii beach. Stress is often your perception of it. Develop a calm outlook (maybe through stress management or relaxation exercises) and you’ll have the emotional tools for almost anything.

Electrical Engineering is sort of outdated by Electronics Engineering. But its an archaic 4 year degree and anyhow Elec. Engineers are always needed. So getting a job is not that dificult.
But also you are not in very great demand and your salary will not be as cushy as an Electronics Engineer per se.
Only concern is safety. You are always on topics of Live Wire so Live Electricity is flowing on anything you touch every day. So you cannot be an impulsive person. Need a balanced approach so as not to get shocked.
