<p>How are the job prospects for bioengineering? I've heard that it's hard finding a job out of BioE and that it's better to start with a more traditional discipline such as MechE or EE. Does UCSD provide a lot of opportunities for internships and jobs? Do many UCSD students studying BioE manage to find jobs after graduation without a M.S? </p>

<p>I'm having a difficult time deciding whether BioE would be a good fit for me. I really want to be able to find a job involving BioE but I'm afraid that many companies will not want to hire BioE people since they give preference to MechE and EE graduates. </p>

<p>What would be the best route to go in terms of finding jobs in Biotech at companies such as Genentech or Stryker?</p>
