<p>I really like the field of science and biomedical engineering stood out to me particularly. However, after reading a few posts about it, it has somewhat changed my views on biomedical engineering. I am unsure whether or not they are true but I would like some more information about whether or not this field is worth learning about. What other types of engineers are looking good these days? I want to get a job right after college, so in case I decide to change my major, what are other good types of engineering out there?</p>
<p>I have often heard it said that it is easier getting jobs with a more general form of engineering such as EE, ME, Civil and Chemical etc. Then, one can specialize in graduate school. I have even heard of PhDs becoming biomedical engineering professors after completing a PhD in EE. So I do not think you need to be in such a hurry to specialize. Certainly, if you were looking at Med School as your first choice and needed an engineering degree as a fall back to develop math and computer skills in addition to taking bio and chemistry, then Biomedical engineering could be the way to go.</p>
<p>From my reading, it seems like BS in biomedical engineering has limited job options. </p>
<p>This article rates it as a good field, but that may not be for BS. The list also includes physical therapist, and friends have told me that’s a tough field which requires lots of grad school.

<p>Biomedical engineering perhaps next to chemical engineering is a very hard major but not unmanageable. The major marries a medical related degree and an engineering degree which can cause an issue if you aren’t considering a higher degree because any degree related to medicine usually needs more than just an undergraduate degree. However, there are many people that go right into industry right after they get their B.S., but they weren’t given these jobs on silver platters, networking and internships are important in any engineering field. Since a lot of times the people that hire you will want to see how you not only complete engineering tasks but how you work in a team, they often hire from their interns. If you really enjoy biomedical engineering you should do it you might need to put in a little more effort to get a job at first but that will get your foot in the door and set you on track for future endeavors. The best thing to do it talk to an advisor and look at a college’s bme graduate outcomes.</p>
