Why not shoot for the ultimate ... "Trust me, I'm a doctor"   :-)

Can you even get a doctorate in EE?

You can get a doctorate in anything, provided you are willing to pay!

Engineers have saved more lives then doctors.

Engineers are applied physicists. And are real good at fixing anything.Do you have an insatiable appetite for all science, and curiosity to want to understand how everything works?

[IonizedGears]

Yes, since I was born. Besides I currently go to a trade high school for electronics. How many years after a masters in EE does it take to get a PhD as I might want that for later use and a just in case thing ?

the ultimate is a rocket surgeon. he performs rocket surgery. like open brain surgery while he and the patient are in a flying rocket

1) you will fail. there is simply too much to learn for 1 person to master in 1 lifetime
2) pff. there are far better paying and less stressful jobs than that
3) run for the hills.

Normally 4 years for a phd. and 2 for a masters. however if you're slow on your thesis, you might take longer, or very rarely, less (unlikely).
there's also the special case of phd without a masters, where you're bumped into a phd program after your first year in the masters program

1- I know, but one must have impossible goals right?
2-yes but I love EE
3- that made me smile, everyone knows when an engineer says "Trust me, I'm an engineer" that you have to run for the hills

4 years? :/ Guess i wont be teaching when i am older, and i thought the masters program is 4 years whilst the bachelors program was two years?

normal progression is as follows: 4 years bachelors, 2 years masters, 4 years phd = 10 years.
