Engineering and finance

<p>I have heard of several bioengineering majors who did very well and went on to high position jobs in finance with great pay. I dont understand how this work out though. How versatile is a biomedical engineering degree? What type of finance careers are suitable for these majors?</p>

<p>People from just about any major often end up in finance. Bioengineering may be more sought after if they want someone to work in the biotechnology industry.</p>

<p>i know 3 people who majored in Engineering and ended up in the finance field.</p>

<p>One was a Chem Eng.
the other was a Industrial Eng.
and ofcourse my uncle who was a Software Eng.</p>

<p>I think any Eng. major could enter the finance field.
or any other business related areas.</p>

<p>Engineering is a special skill, you learn to solve problems, very complex ones is a very systematic way. Something that is good in any field.</p>

<p>would those people need to take finance courses during undergrad?</p>

<p>Undergraduate Business majors are something that way to many people have. In my opinion its better to study lets say mathematics or computer science and then going and getting a MBA in finance. Ive been told by a few Undergrad Business advisor's and they all told me not to waste my time with Business.</p>

<p>Have you looked into Systems or industrial engineering,</p>

<p>well to clarify I am a Biomedical engineering major at johns hopkins but I just want to know my options after graduation. Don't know if I should do med school but I heard my major will be a burden and I am not sure if med school is something interesting for me anyway.</p>

<p>If you want to enter any business related areas then Industrial Engineering is a good choice.</p>
