Would you suspect that one might actually get a job in the field of some type of engineering with just a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering? Or would one need a higher degree, such as a master's or a P.H.D. ? What might some possible career options be with a B.S. in Electrical engineering?

Yes, you can get a job with just a Bachelor's in Engineering. A good idea would be to ask your school about internships - lots of my engineering friends did internships as undergrads and got hired after they graduated.
 


You can be a good engineer if you continue your course and much better if you get the master in electrical engineer and there is a possibility that you can get a stable job.
