No, not what I meant, on either the 'finding jobs' or that your EE is useless.
Your EE has tremendous value. HOWEVER, in addition to the value of creating, you have to create the environment where the product/idea is able to be sold.
I'm an anti-mac-boy (do we get a proper title? I hate being defined by something you're not), and getting quite a laugh about your remarks re: Jobs.
However, I think it is undeniable that Apple wouldn't be where it is today without him. From an engineering standpoint, sure Woz is a brilliant engineer, and made an amazing product, but it was leadership (management) that made apple into a great company (even if I don't like the way they do business or their products).
I wasn't aware you were referring to consumer electronics, but even so, take a look at how others have done it in the past.
I believe the story of Palm may be a good one (though I'm not sure what product you are really talking about).
Also consider the financial times that we're in. Using Palm as an example, they got funded early dot-com (I believe), so what worked for them might no work for you.
