A little background on me, I was/am a Junior in college studying for a BSEE when I started running out of cash. I opt to "cash" in my University credits along with completing a few other classes to complete an A.S. in Wireless Telecommunications/Networking. My question is is will employers ever consider me for an upper level engineering position should I not complete my BSEE? This field of work is my passion and I feel that my I could succeed if just given the chance. I currently hold CCNA, CWNA certs along with my A.S.

Expert's answer Great things can be accomplished without a bachelor's degree but you will find it easier to get into an upper level engineering position if you finish that BSEE than if you do not. It sounds like you have the credentials to get employed in the field so keep your eyes out for employer funded opportunities to pursue your studies. If this area is really your passion it should make it that much easier to juggle the schedules and keep working at it over time.
