<p>I am going into my second year at Baylor University. I was an Engineering major and while many aspects of the field interest me, I can't help but feel that it isn't ultimately what I want to do with my life. I have always had an interest in Health and Medicine, as I had planned to do grad school in BME if I stuck with Engineering, and I have considered Biology as an option, especially to keep the Pre-Med path open. I have also always enjoyed and enjoyed History and Business and considered Law school as well. </p>
<p>After looking through majors and examining my interests, I have considered staying in Engineering or doing Biology w/ or w/o Pre-med, History, Accounting. With any of those I could minor in Astrophysics (another interest), History, Bio, or Business as well as seen fit.</p>
<p>Any ideas on which may be the most practical when looking for a job in the long run and most beneficial to me once I get out of college/grad school??</p>
<p>LOL
U WILL NEVER GRADUATE IN 10 YEARS with that many things you like / love to learn.
Let’s calm down. I am sure many of us are knowledge lovers. But we don’t have 10 20 years spend in college.</p>
<p>If you want ensure your safe career path, I think majoring in physics or traditional engineering disciplines will be the best. Some CCers have suggested that undergraduate BME is not enough. It is true, and it is preferable to have master, or even Ph.D in BME.
However, currently the BME industry is probably still dominate by experts and specialists from EE, ME, and ChemE.
These three engineering displines probably can secure your choice of career path.
Unless you are very sure that you want to do something in biological science fields, then doing BME for undergraduate and graduate isn’t a bad idea at all. It’s good to do it @ undergraduate level. </p>
<p>But certainly, EE, ME and ChemE can open more potential employments. </p>
<p>Majoring in Physics is also very good option. In fact, I know that many of physics graduates that I have met turned to finance sector. Astrophysics is more astronomy, which is totally outside of your other interests LOL somehow i feel like astrophysicists are soooooo theoretical. lmao</p>
<p>Whether you want to do standard physics, biophysics, astrophysics, or applied physics, it is up to your decision. But out of those, I think standard physics and applied physics open more potential employments.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would do EE, or ME engineering, and move on with BME in graduate school.</p>
