Look at places to be educated first and where you would like to be. Your opinions on what you would like to do in these industries may and probably will change as you receive your education, and each institution has it's own educational atmosphere. Where I studied, for instance, at UMD College Park, is within the geographical area of a multi-billion dollar defense and science industry. Most EE majors are recruited by local companies (BIG companies) like Lockheed, NASA, Boeing, and DeWalt. I just received a recruiter email the other day in fact from Apple looking for an intern for their Wireless System Development Team. This is rare however.
While yungman is right that things do change, larger companies like these have the advantage of sticking around for a long time and they are in constant need of engineers, thus there is a modicum of job security associated with them, which is nice. Your interests will evolve from simply enjoying gadgets to enjoying E&M, or signal processing, or linear controls, etc. You may not find the job you wanted when you enrolled but chances are you'll be looking for something different anyway.
