Argue that a master's degree looks like more highly educated employees.
I have a Master's degree in EE, and do software as well as hardware. I'd suggest taking courses in both.? Depending on what you want to do, Microprocessors and C++ (and possibly assembly, it could be argued) are good.? Python I don't really use, since it's easy enough to code in C++ (for me).? CAD?? Definitely if you want to do something with it, I could suggest looking at OpenSCAD as an interesting system.
C++ allows both processor and windows (and Linux, I'd say) applications.
You might want to see if you are going to be interested in either the system level programming (applications support) or applications.? All of the above are interesting.

Thanks for the feedback Roy. I really appreciate it. So I have a solid foundation of math/physics through my chemistry degree. Calc III, dif equations, quantum chemistry. The math I'm not worried about. I also feel comfortable in using most of the hardware an EE student might come in contact with. Software is a different story. I have zero experience with python or CAD. But I know I can learn. My company does subsidize tuition. However, I might fall into a grey area. We are a biotech company so I'm not directly making the company money but I am keeping their costs down. I could argue a degree in EE could translate into better understanding of the equipment which could in turn mean more costs savings. But you bring up excellent points! -Frank
