<p>I can't decide between the two. </p>
<p>Depends on what you enjoy and what you want to do after your BS.</p>
<p>If you choose biomedical, that pretty much means you’ll need to to to grad school as most jobs are in research and require PhDs., whereas you can find employment with a B.S. </p>
<p>That should say you can find good jobs in Chem E with a B.S.</p>
<p>Lake Jr. gave much thought to enrolling in a BME major, but settled on ChE because he believed it to be a bit more broad and flexible. He has a fairly solid background in biology so when he graduates he hopefully can parlay the ChE degree into a job with a bioengineering or chemicals firm such as Bayer, BASF, General Electric etc.</p>
<p>Also, not every engineering school offers BME and some BME or Bioengineering departments do not have ABET accreditation.</p>
<p>UIUC actually offers Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Otherwise, NoVADad99 is right. BME jobs likely require a master degree while ChemE has more job for bachelors.</p>
<p>You might need a PhD to get a job that is associated with bio and med. </p>
