I am currently a Junior at Keene state college majoring in Math and physics.. would i still beable to become an electrical engineer? or if not, what sort of careers could be looking at in the future?

should I try to transfer for my last year in college?

See my thread "Physics or Engineering, which way to go" at General Discussions.
If you are a good Physicist then you can be a good design engineer. My experience says that engineers are not expert in details of a design. A Physicist`s work starts where engineers can't survive. All of the good electrical designing organizations have Physicists with them. A small organization can't afford u.
 
If an engineer walks into a room and sees a fire in the middle and a bucket of water in the corner, he takes the bucket of water and pours it on the fire and puts it out.

If a physicist walks into a room and sees a fire in the middle and a bucket of water in the corner, he takes the bucket of water and pours it eloquently around the fire and let's the fire put itself out.

If a mathematician walks into a room and sees a fire in the middle and a bucket of water in the corner, he convinces himself there is a solution and leaves.
