I would say that a degree in electronics/electronic engineering or something to do with electronic systems and devices would stand you much better.
Or particularly, a degree in acoustics and psychoacoustics would set you up perfectly if you want to be an engineer.

I've done a course that touched on all of these, and while certain bits of knowledge I picked up have been useful, the degree itself has done nothing for my career in the long run.

The best I got from it was time to develop myself, and friendships with other like-minded people.
I also used this time to get work as a venue live sound engineer, in addition to use the university's facilities to record music at every given chance.
You could take advantage of your student life, which allows you cheaper living, to work for next to nothing in a studio and build up a portfolio.. Which is what people are looking for.. And character.

In short.. I think that courses have the potential to teach you a lot.. But the rest is up to you.. The real world in this world doesn't rely on a piece of paper. It relies on experience, which comes from enthusiasm, and a lot of blagging.

The hands on courses teaching you deeper than the million other courses like the ones at SAE, as I mentioned above, would suit people better in the real world I think.
Knowing electronics and or acoustics back to front gives you a huge advantage in this world of a guzzillion graduates.
