<p>I was admitted to UIUC-ECE and Wisconsin-Bio</p>
<p>If I choose ECE, I’m going to UIUC, and if I choose Bio, I’m going to Wisconsin.</p>
<p>I can’t decide…
My favorite subjects are Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry, and Computer Science (AP)</p>
<p>Which one is better for jobs and salary?
any other advice?</p>
<p>If you don’t plan on professional school such as medicine, dentistry etc. then just do ECE</p>

<p>At the bachelor’s degree level, electrical and computer engineering by a long shot over biology.</p>
<p>[The</a> UC Berkeley career center survey](<a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm]The”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm) found for 2010 graduates:</p>
<p>EECS (Engineering): 55% employed, 7% seeking employment, $73045 average pay (but note that most job titles imply emphasis on CS rather than EE)
CS (Letters and Science): 63% employed, 6% seeking employment, $76733 average pay
Integrative Biology: 34% employed, 22% seeking employment, $42375 average pay
Molecular and Cell Biology: 36% employed, 15% seeking employment, $40398 average pay
Bioengineering: 24% employed, 16% seeking employment, $51192 average pay
Chemical Biology: insufficient survey responses</p>
<p>And if you do want to go pre-med, you do not have to be a biology major – you can fit the pre-med course requirements around any major of your choice (although engineering majors may be hard to do that with in terms of schedule space).</p>
<p>I can not comment on the job prospects/salary of ECE, but with a Biology degree you have a very wide range of options, very few of which are high paying. If you do choose to go the Bio route, I highly suggest you get an advanced degree, since B.S./B.A. Biology holders are a dime a dozen and likely end up in an unglamorous, low paying job. Also, you might want to look into a ChemE degree since it’s very easy to tailor the curricula to overlap with the interests you mentioned. It is lacking in programming, but a minor in CS could satisfy that. Just be warned that the degree of rigor and time needed for an engineering degree is high compared to a Bio degree.</p>
