Mostly I was looking trying to do custom RF stuff, trying to create custom hardware. Could have used an SDR, but I think I still would need a solid handle on the math for that.

That's definitely the realm of "actual electrical engineer". There's a lot you can learn to get most of the way there without the math, but to actually understand why you've got e.g. an impedance matching network on your antenna trace requires some mathematical gymnastics that's easiest to get in school. That can feel pretty frustrating, but on the other hand a lot of the hardware at work there can be had off-the-shelf as modules, so you don't have to do any RF black magic. Just standard build-quality questions.
