Is electrical engineering a good career?

Hi! I’m a college student. I’ve always excelled in math and science, and a friend of mine suggested I look into engineering. I know there are a million different types of engineering, but I was hoping you could tell me more about electrical engineering. Is electrical engineering a good career?
