Yeah, most job postings out there that I've seen in my field say something like "Candidate must possess a degree in Electrical, Electronics or Software Engineering" or they say "Electrical Engineering" alone. I've never come across a posting requiring only the more specialized Software or Electronics Engineering.

My point is, as an Electrical Engineer, I can do the same stuff a Software, Computer or Electronics Engineer can do, but a Software Engineer won't be able to do all the stuff I can.
