Engineering, is it right for me?

<p>I am strongly debating between medicine and engineering. If I choose to go into engineering, my parents think I should get a business degree afterwards. I really want to go for biomedical engineering, but it is not a fully developed field. At this point, what are the positive and negatives aspects of both medicine/engineering? Also, which type of engineering has the best job prospects and future? How tough are the types comparitively? Thanks!</p>

<p>The outlook for engineering jobs is good, but if you want to move up the corporate ladder and make more money you will ultimately need to get some kind of graduate degree. A MBA is popular because many engineers want to get into management. I am a mechanical engineering student and I plan on going to law school after I get my undergrad degree. I wanted to get a technical undergrad education but in the long run engineering won't allow me to do the kind of work that I want to do for my career.</p>

<p>You can still do engineering in undergrad and go to med school afterwards, but I don't know how well an engineering curriculum will prepare you for the kind of stuff you will encounter in med school.</p>

<p>My dad had to spend every single night studying from 5pm to 2am for his med classes, he hated every minute of it, but now he is a successful podiatrist, making a LOT of money.</p>

<p>my uncle is an electrical engineer, he works at harvard and makes a decent amount of money.</p>

<p>I am going in for computer engineering, and hope to make a good amount of money.</p>
