Are you somebody who have only the knowledge you have recieved from this
4 year formal education, or have you had electronics as your hobby and
you main interest for 10+ years, and the formal education is just the
backbone of your total knowledge and experience?

Formal schooling can only give a sceleton of knowledge, the most important
and basic stuff. You need to get the rest of your knowledge, the body, in
a certain field by yourself.

What did you do in your free time at 15 years of age?
Did you hang with others in the mall, drinking beer and watching video
every night? Or did you build electronic circuits and read Wireless
World?

People who have only formal education will not get the best jobs in the
field. People with only hobby interest will never get good jobs either.
You need both formal education and self study.
As much as possible of both will get you very good jobs.
