Odds of Getting In
It's not Hollywood—so you've got that going for you—but nobody's developed an electrical engineering reality show where you're judged on your, well, electrical engineering skills. So it looks like you'll have to find your own way in.
Prove yourself in school, pay your dues doing some entry-level circuit work, and hopefully you'll be able to find a steady gig. EEs are needed to develop and build everything from cars, to phones, to well, anything that uses electricity.
A word of warning: Job growth for electrical engineers is projected to grow at a slower rate than careers in other fields (source). But if you have the skills, the passion, and the educational background, hopefully you'll find a way in. This is where those communication skills come in handy—finding opportunities, nailing interviews, and building relationships.
