Just know the basics really well. I just graduated with an EE degree and went into Nuclear and don't use much of the stuff listed. I'd say the most important thing has to be communication with others. Heh, don't worry about the schooling too much. Just know the basics really well.

It's also useful to be aware that engineering is about models - all models are approximations at some point where the assumptions made go out the window. Good engineers know the assumptions and when they can and can not trust a model to be a good enough representation of reality. Most engineers have a whole collection of models/intuitions that patch-work cover their understanding of the field. We used to have an "in joke": if you want a good laugh, ask a physicist to design a circuit for you; he'll start with Maxwell's equations and get back to you in a month." The scariest example of not getting the model was when I TA'ed a senior analog design lab and this one student (slated to graduate in a semester) clearly missed the entire point of Small Signal Models and couldn't wrap his head around why he could not get 100V out of an amplifier with a gain of 100 when he put 1V in and used a 10V power supply. He never got yet I couldn't fail him enough to prevent him from getting a degree which he clearly didn't deserve to hold. He walked and got a BSEE. You can never be too good at math for EE also.
