<p>^^“A word of advice he has given me is that BME is a dying major unless you decide to continue on with grad school. More and more companies realize that the focus of BME just isn’t what industry needs.” </p>
<p>you gotta be kidding me man. the demand for biomedical engineers is greater than any other engineering discipline. you should go to grad school anyway because an undergraduate degree will not get you far in life in terms of a job and salary.</p>

<p>“For this year’s list, U.S. News examined the Labor Department’s brand-new job growth projections for 2008 to 2018. We looked for occupations that will add jobs at an above-average rate over the next decade or so and those that provide an above-average median income…In the end, we found a list of 50 jobs that present some of the best opportunities for workers in five categories. In the science and technology field, jobs range from network architect to meteorologist. This category includes the fastest-growing occupation—with a 72 percent growth rate that far outstrips the 10 percent average across careers—of biomedical engineer. Biomedical engineers help develop the equipment and devices that improve or enable the preservation of health. They’re working to grow cardiac tissue or develop tomorrow’s MRI machines, asthma inhalers, and artificial hearts. Computer software engineers, on the other hand, are working to develop tomorrow’s hottest video game—or missile system.” </p>
