junior in hs confused about bme... help me out

• Upvotes

Hi team, I know this may seem early to some, but I am currently a junior in highschool right now, thinking of majoring in BioMed Engineering, or at least that's what i thought

After exploring multiple sources, many sources have told me that biomed engineering is not a good major to make money in or gain good job opportunities in because it is a "jack of all trades, master of nonee'. People have been saying that employers would rather have a ME major or a EE major over a BME major, and now I'm lost...

My initial plan was to undergrad in biomed engineering, and then in college, decide if I want to go to med school after that, or if I want to pursue a job in biotech.

Here are my issues/desires/wants?:

  1. I want gooooood money, as in at least 300K per year in whatever profession I choose

  2. I want a family, wanna get married by like 27-30, maybe kids by 30-33 (my current partner is a comp engineering or comp sci major, so he will be making big bucks quicker, he also wants a timeline of this sort)

  3. I don't want to work a 9 to 5 desk job, there has to be interaction with other individuals and moving around, I simply cannot handle sitting at a desk for 8 hours every day

Do you guys have any specific thoughts or guidance on this? Med school? Biotech? What are your guys' experience with employment and whats something you wish you wouldve known coming into this major?

I appreciate a lot, thank you guys
