<p>So... I love programming, I love biochemistry/molecular biology, I loooooove probability and stats, and I love systems design and engineering. My major of choice is bioinformatics, and I hope to go to grad school for a PhD after I finish my undergrad. Are the potential job prospects for a bioinformatician as bleak as those for molecular biologists and biochemists, or do we stand closer to CS and engineering majors? Bioinformatics/computational biology is very CS/Math heavy, though you have to have an intimate understanding of molecular bio and biochem. I was considering just doing bioengineering with a minor in CS + take bioinformatics-geared technical electives (Genomic Tech lab, Biological data analysis, etc). What do you guys think? Bioengineering, as of right now, doesn't seem to exist as an industry outside of academia. Or does it? I feel like mechanical/chemical/electrical engineers are doing most of what we train bioEs to do, but what do I know.</p>
<p>Does your school have a career survey that asks about job and graduate school placement among graduates, and pay levels for those who got jobs?</p>
<p>Sort of like those found here:</p>
