is there any hope for someone to become a professional in the field without an electronic/computer engineering degree? I'd love to do stuff that I can actually hold in my hand (did some reverse engineering for a usb sound card and it felt rewarding cause I could quite literally hear the success), but I only have a computer science adjacent degree (BBa in Business Information Technology).
You can learn enough CAD to design your first thing in a day, enough about electronics to design your first thing in a week. A 3D printer and an order to jlcpcb.com will get you started. There are a very large number of avenues to go down but those are a couple.
