<p>Hi, I am going to be an incoming freshman at Washington University in St. Louis this fall. Right now I am enrolled in the business school but I am really on the fence about what I want to do. A finance/econ major seems to have good job outlooks but Wash U's BME program is very strong and the career is interesting to me. What is strange is that many of these BME students want to go to med school to become doctors and are not actually interested into going into making medical devices. I am not interested in med school but moreso the engineering side. So a few questions:</p>
<p>My dream would be to work as an engineer for a biomedical company, move to management and have the company pay for my MBA. How do I do that? Is majoring in BME too narrow of a major or should I do mechanical even though BME job outlook is very good? I also don't have much money so if I wanted to get an engineering master's degree do companies often pay for this, and would undergrad engineer + masters of engineering + MBA be a feasable option?</p>
<p>I could also double major in BME/ME + economics/finance, do people do this (and is finance too different from engineering to make this work, are the careers too different)? Again, job security..</p>
