Self taught electronics until a few years ago when I got to college. I am finishing up my EE degree, and hope to get my math degree for non math majors as well.
Right now I am studying:
EE430 transistor circuits (semiconductor application) EE382 Communications systems (Fourier transform) EE400 Design (calculating power requirements for electric offroad rock climber)

Wow, intrusion detection and analysis, sounds el1te
I have a joint degree in electrical and mechanical engineering and a PhD in mechanical engineering, both from Strathclyde University in Scotland. My current job involves writing a lot of code for DSP chips as well as ordinary uCs.
I find coding and software development pretty difficult, I never had much formal training in it except for a few classes in C programming and some FORTRAN. I remember the C guys told us that you can make an array of pointers and do arithmetic with them, but they never told us why in hell you would want to do that.
It wasn't till I tried writing a menu-driven user interface in assembler, and when I had got it to work I looked back on it and realised that I was in fact doing arithmetic with arrays of pointers to decide what strings to print on the screen. In that forehead slapping moment I almost realised what the * and & operators in C are good for, but then I forgot again
I think that sums up what I find most mind bending about it. But software and firmware is obviously where the money is nowadays...

Electronics self taught since i was little...Diving into electrical engineering at Florida State University.Minors in History, Classics...Later minors in math, physics, and physcology...
Upon graduation, i intend to specialize in power management/alternative energy sources sorta deal...

Right now I'm doing a great big load of maths and physics. I'm currently focusing on signal processing and spectral analysis sort of stuff - digital and analogue.
