^ with electrician/electrical tech there are bridge programs available that sort out the transition for you. The bridging and eng programs are a lot of hard work and take about 3 years (vs 5 to start eng from scratch) and as you said an Eng with field experience is infinity more desirable than a regular Eng. As someone who works with Engineers a lot it can be very obvious who has real world experience and who doesn't sometimes.

I should have also mentioned before, be sure that what you go back to school for is a program that will actually lead to a job, I have quite a few friends that took programs they liked without looking at real world jobs first, and now can't find jack shit with their degrees in worthless things.
