I have dual degrees in EE and CS from a LONG time ago - 1975, U.C. Davis. I use both in my work, which involves embedded systems in space launch safety systems. I think the EE is probably more useful if you have to make a choice. A great deal of the more specific CS stuff I learned was obsolete (like mag core memory) before the ink was dry on my degree. I also have to be concerned with the infrastructure stuff - like electrical power. Even though a CPU no longer has grease fittings, the fundamentals of EE remain the same.
