I'm working on my EE degree and recently got my foot in the door with the federal gov/D.O.D. They're paying for my schooling and training me to be an Electrician. From there it's all on me. I'm taking classes on my own in addition to the classes I'm taking for my journeyman certification. I've spoken to a few engineers at work and they all say that learning the Electrician trade (specifically the one I'm learning) will make me more valuable when I finish my degree as most engineering graduates have no experience as technicians.
Also the years of Dept of Defense work on my resume probably won't hurt either when I'm ready to move on.
