Are there a lot of prospective job opportunities for bioengineers?

I'm a senior in high school and interested in bioengineering, but I've heard many negative opinions about going into bioengineering because of the lack of job opportunities. I heard many students end up going to grad school to study a different branch of engineering.
So, is it worth it to go to college to study bioengineering? Or should I look for a different branch of engineering to study? #engineering #bioengineering

Luis "Lou"’s Answer

There is a ton of opportunities, BUT, the problem is that bio-engineering is a very wide field and some of the work in these fields requires advanced degrees (PhD is not uncommon).
The narrow focus of the degree can limit you in career opportunities at the beginning of your career. But, if you get a degree in a more "traditional" path like Mechanical, Chemical or Electrical engineering you won't limit your prospects to companies in the biomedical fields.

New innovations in technology, materials, and knowledge mean that the future breakthroughs can barely be conceived of today. After all, biomedical engineering did not even exist as a field some time ago
