Does it matter what your undergrad degree is?

I know that eventually when I'm seeking a full time job, I want to be involved with biomedical engineering, be it on the business side or a research oriented aspect. After reading some posts on this forum however, im starting to get a vibe that the undergrad degree doesn't weigh that much and it'd be almost negligible what area i choose. im currently a biological engineer, but i've heard suggestions to do CS, EE, or even ME instead during my undergrad, and pursue a bme education at a grad level.
any thoughts on this? is there no benefit to majoring in biological engineering as an undergrad in my current situation? to be honest, i'm open and very interested in trying out other disciplines in the engineering fields, but don't want to end up sticking to one path, go with it for awhile, and realize it provides me little to no options in the end.

Cause when you go to the CS, EE, ME field all the options told to you are in that field. If you go with BME, then it will be catered to that interest and you will be on the most solid and for sure path.
However, by all means when you are doing your degree, you can take courses in CS, EE, ME, and possibly MINOR in it. That way you will not be limited to a path since you will have skills in those areas too.
Or since you were said you could be interested in the business side, a minor in a Business related field.
I personally did my undergrad in BME and EE double major. I have had no problems or regrets.
Best of luck, and please feel free to ask any questions about BME in general.
