<p>im bout to transfer to 4 yr university as an electrical engineering major, but decided also to consider biomedical engineering, since we both probably have a good aptitude for problem solvin, and if we like biology and chem. it shud all work out.</p>
<p>jus think bout the alternative, graduate as ME or EE $50k yrly, get laid off when we’re 45 cuz medical insurance premiums r too much and get our jobs outsourced to india, then work in retail at ur local Fry’s electronics or compusa. when iw as 18 i worked as a car salesman w/guy who used to be a computer engineer and made 120K in the dot com days. aint gonna happen again in our lifetimes, ever. </p>
<p>The United States Department of Labor reports that the number of biomedical engineering jobs will increase by 31.4 percent through 2010—double the rate for all other jobs combined.</p>

<p>i’m switchin to biomed engineering cuz the job demands r so high, and i get to put my engineering skills to good use, plus i cant see myself analyzin resistors & circuits everyday, i kinda like bio too. also it keeps medschool open as an option as well. </p>
<p>it shud not be too much of a change for u if u decide to switch to biomed engineering, cuz u’ll jus take more chem ochem n bio , u wont have wasted ne of ur time at this point, cuz all the calculus n physics u ve taken are needed for med school.</p>
