Applied mathematics or Electrical Engineering?

[Holocene]

I've made a decision to attend school locally, so as to save some cash.

I like the idea of the applied math degree, because I have a pretty big interest in math.

But, I'm worried about the ability to find employement afterwards.

Would going after an EE degree provide a better chance at getting a decent job?

Or find a way to do both!

I studied physics initially, but did several courses in applied math. I then switched to nuclear engineering, and did additional courses in applied math. If one does physics or engineering, a strong background in applied math will help.

What kind of courses in applied maths do you think would help engineering students most?

What courses does your math department offer? You can take a gander at the catalog list and post them here.

It'll clog up this thread unnecessarily if I were to post the list here. regardless, perhaps I should ask if which of the following courses are important for electrical engineering, which I major in:

1. Advanced linear algebra (I've taken the introductory linear algebra course)
2. Mathematical analysis (Intro-level, for math majors)
3. Stats and probability
4. Set theory, group theory etc.

That's all I think that's available to me. I deliberately excluded calculus because I signed up for the engineering mathematics classes, which basically covers everything from what is known as Calc 1 to Calc 3 without going into details or proofs.
