I’m a Canadian and am doing my 10th grade in India at the moment. I’m planning of applying to U.S.(I might get the green card in a year or two) and Canada for college. But I’m stuck between taking a major in biomedical engineering or one in economics. Any advise which one is better? I’m equally interested in both. I need to decide so that I can pick which stream to take in 11th next year…
Some ideas on picking majors:
- Go to your college’s career center or HS Guidance Office and talk to them. They may have tests/tools that help you figure out what career (and therefore major) is best for you)
- What classes do you prefer? Science/Math? English/History?
- Read this article: What problem do you want to solve?

- Pre-med/sociology/public health/psychology are majors where you want to help people directly.
Business/engineering/comp sci are majors where you want to solve technical/organizational problems.
Which is more appealing to you?
I’d go with Economics.
Biomedical Engineering is currently oversubscribed everywhere, whereas Economics isn’t and is still in-demand.
