Thoughts on Electronic Engineering? (STEM)

Correct me if I'm wrong but Electronic Engineering is part of STEM. I keep hearing that STEM is one of the best fields to be in if you're looking for a comfortable life. I'm gonna be forced into college soon, and I'm wondering of a good degree to get while I'm there, and what scholarships to be searching for.

Originally I want to do audio engineering, but I heard that electronic engineering would be suitable since it's in demand. What are your thoughts on this? What things to look out on for STEM and what truths do you have about STEM? Is all of this even worth it?
