Thank you comment icon Hello Ash! Your inquiries have gone through my weekly mail and from my experience I cannot give you any good advice, not properly in my working field. Choosing a career can feel overwhelming, but remember it’s a journey, not a single decision. Every step you take—whether it’s a class, a volunteer role, or a part-time job—teaches you something valuable. Every career path has challenges, but with determination and curiosity, you’ll find success. May the blessing follow you always! Isida Mici

Martha D.’s Answer

Hi Ash - it sounds like your college career is off to a great start! And, by mentioning how much you love doing research, you may have identified a terrific career path for yourself.
The link to a Johns Hopkins article below identifies several more paths, such as medical or pharmaceutical product development or management. According to the Indeed.com article linked below, job prospects are good. The Indeed.com career guide has more articles about biomedical engineering, and I encourage you to read them.
The third link is to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) which agrees that job prospects are good.
I would suggest getting to know the University of Iowa career counseling center, which may have other ideas and alumni connections for internships and eventual employment. Your departmental advisor may also have good ideas.
Wishing you good luck!
