<p>I'm currently in high school and am starting to look for future career options I am interested in going to medical school, but am ambivalent on what I should major in as a pre-med. I know this question has come up many times, and I have looked through many other threads.
I think I want to major in Biomedical Engineering, but I am concerned that if I don't end up getting into med school or it just doesn't work out, I won't have many career options with that major. I am also concerned that my GPA won't be very high, as that engineering majors are known to be quite difficult. I am also looking into Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
I am leaning towards Biomedical Engineering, but if any of these other options is better if med school doesn't work out, I would like to know. I know this is sort of a repetitive question, but thank you for your time!</p>
<p>Of the ones you have mentioned…Chemical engineering is the most marketable major if you don’t end up in med school. </p>
<p>If you get a degree in ChemE and don’t go to med school, you can get hired in a high paying position right out of undergrad.</p>
<p>When my son was a ChemE undergrad, so were two of his house-mates. He went onto med school, but his two housemates went on to jobs…both were hired at salaries in the $75k-85k range. It sure made my son pause a bit…lol.</p>
<p>Some of the new ChemE hires are making bonuses in the 20-25% range which means they probably made 100k+.

<p>Yes</p>
