There’s also 12 times more ECE positions than chemE positions, so I’m not sure about the competition theory. If anything, I think you’ll have more flexibility in terms of job location if you decide to not do biomedical engineering, and go with your major.

Electrical Engineers: 153,000
Electronics Engineers: 138,000
Computer Hardware Engineers: 79,000
ECE Total: 370,000, not including CS programmers

Chemical Engineers: 30,000
