> I would like to get my electrical engineering degree and focus on power systems

Do you really like this and want to work in it / have friends or family you could ask about this career?

Because if not FYI, it's likely LESS salary than your software engineering job, plus less likely remote work is feasible if that's important to you.

I have an uncle that works as one and he's introduced me to friends that also do. From what they've said I do think I would be interested in it.

I understand it's less salary and there's less chance of remote work but I'm just thinking about long term job prospects. I'm also okay with sticking with software engineering, but I worry about not having a job and also not having a degree. But I figure if I'm getting a degree, it might as well be in a field I'm interested.
