<p>Hello.
First of all, I just want to say Hi. As you can see, I am a new member of this forum. The reason for me to join this forum has a lot to do with this forum section in particular.</p>

<p>I graduated from a county college last year (2yrs) with A.A. in Chemistry.
Now I am doing BME at a college in the TRI-State area. The reason why I changed my mind and joined BME was nothing other than this show called "EARTH 2057" which was aired on Discovery ch. To be honest, I didn't know such field existed. Anyways, I will get my B.S. BME in most likely 3 years (2010). </p>

<p>What are my chances of getting a job in...lets say NJ...with a B.S. degree?
Do you think it is better to go for M.S. or should I get some experience b/4 I apply for M.S.? I am thinking about getting a Job first (if not to hard) and then after a year, apply for M.S. That way, the company might give me some recommendation letters or something and will get more experienced. </p>

<p>Also, this question goes to BME students/graduates.
Which field has a highest/most stable job opening in near future?
The options are, 1)Biomechanics 2)Bioinstrumentatino 3)Tissue Eng./Biomaterial. Please, help me pick a track based on the job opening point of view.</p>

<p>last question, what is the avg. MINIMUM GPA req. to get into M.S. BME program in a GOOD (not talking about Ivy League here guys) college?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>sry for my "not so good" English, it is like a 4 year college to me. For those who are going like...huh?...I mean that English is a new language for me, just like this 4 year college...get it? hehe. Lets hope you laugh.</p>

<p>I’ve heard from many people that its just better to get your B.S. in a traditional engineering major like E E, ME, or Chem E…and then its better to go for a Masters in BME.</p>
