Most well-paid jobs now require a degree, no matter what that might be. I'd argue CS/EE are actually outliers in providing a career that will likely fall in the boundaries set by their programmes; many (most?) other people get degrees in something then find jobs in something else. For example, my brother graduated in sports science and is now a project manager.
