Follow the pay. Everyone I knew in EECS flipped to the CS route because software salaries are so damn high. Electronics became a low margin commodity business, software somehow hasn't. And somehow the software industry has enough revenue to warrant hiring at a rapid clip (VC capital?). Unless software margins collapse or we end up with a dev glut, there's no way EE can bid labor up to match.
