I like the EE idea, but I don't think I want my primary degree to be a BSE. My theory is that since those degrees are 150 credits in order to prepare you to sit for the PE exam that I would end up wasting time I could otherwise spend in theater electives. That being said I do like the idea of taking plenty of EE courses. Since I would never intend to work as a professional engineer, it would be a little much to get the BSE.

I am not sure what school(s) you are looking at, but my BSEE degree requires only 130 credits, and I am not planning on taking the PE exam (in fact, it's rarely discussed in my program)... I know I've had time to take theatre electives as well during my time at U.Va...
