its a bit difficult to find a job coming straight out of BME with a BS but it is still very doable. Chem E is the most lucrative but is, from what i hear, even harder than bme. EE will require you to take more extra classes to fullfil your premed requirements as it will not have classes like bio and orgo included in the major so you might find yourself having to take at least 6 extra classes.

Also, have you talked to your parents about this? Are you just assuming you will have to “support” them financially when they retire? I dont know what your parents do, but most jobs come with pension once you retire which one can live off relatively comfortably.
