<p>I am currently looking into majors and would like your opinions on Bioengineering ( particularly in the biomedical branch) vs Chemical Engineering and how the job market looks for each right now. Any insight greatly appreciated</p>
<p>Major in chemical or mechanical engineering for undergrad. Picking a specialized (bioengineering) undergraduate degree will only limit your options.</p>
<p>it’s not really specialized, but you can always major in bioengineering in undergrad, and them pursue some MBA, or specialized bio field in grad school to enhance your resume</p>
<p>I heard the chemical engineer job outlook was bad, and I know there is ZERO job openings in my state.</p>
<p>I know nothing of bioengineering.</p>
<p>^^^
Seems like every engineering job has high unemployment rates lately.</p>
<p>yea but it’s pretty little compared the unemployment rates of other fields</p>
<p>The job market is definitely better for chemical engineers (it’s tough to get a technical job with just a B.S. in bioengineering). What kind of job do you want though?</p>
