Biomedical Engineer Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I am currently a high school senior and I am planning on attending Ohio State, and majoring in biomedical engineering. I was wondering whether biomedical engineering has a good job prospect over the next 5 to 10 years. Also do most biomedical engineers complete graduate school prior to entering the job market? Does anyone know if Ohio State's biomedical engineering program is prestigious, because it is a new major, yet I am unsure whether it is prestigious.

I am currently working an internship at a hospital nearby where I live. I've been working there for about 12 weeks. All I have been doing is really basic tech work. Like this sort of work I wouldn't need a bachelors degree for it. It would be ok for a starting job but I want something that is more of an "engineering" job. So my question is. Are there biomedical engineering jobs or clinical engineering jobs that are just basic biomed tech jobs? If so what are some options that you can go into that are more challenging and are considered more of an "engineering" job?

I'm thinking about possibly studying biomedical engineering in undergrad and I want to know what you can do with a degree like that. I know that you can either go to graduate school to get a masters or a PHD. Would job opportunities come after you get your undergrad degree or would you have to go to graduate school? And what kind of jobs would someone get with those degrees?

I'm going to Johns Hopkins University in the fall to study biomedical engineering. After doing more research, I found that most jobs for biomedical engineering are very low paying jobs. I may go on to medical school, but I want to have a fallback career that is relatively lucrative yet related to my field. I don't want to go for a masters or Ph.D in biomedical engineering, considering my career path is already quite long. Does anyone have any ideas of what majors could compliment biomedical engineering that would allow me to find a high(er) paying job? Thanks in advance for you time.

Which offers better job stability? Better salary? etc, etc.
