<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>i've been told that biomedical engineering w/ biology/chemistry focus can give you an ample preparation for medical school</p>
<p>But if you decide against med school, does that degree give you solid career options?</p>
<p>Most engineering programs do not make you choose a specialty until the end of your freshmen year when you will be better informed as to your likes and the differences in each. Even if a school does make you chose, most engineering first year curriculums are common to all types, which makes switching (with the caveat: room available) relatively easy.</p>
