How on earth would an electrical engineering degree help you get a good job?

eh, for digital circuits/RTL it's largely been my experience that they will simply not look at you unless you have an EE/CompE degree It's bizarre but not exactly a novel problem
Right, but why would getting hired to do work you hate result in having a good job?
Because some people look at a job as merely a means to an end. That end being a paycheck. Their quality of work often reflects this value system.
