Devina, Jakarta asked Jennifer Elisseeff, Johns Hopkins University AddedThursday, August 21, 2014 at 6:34 AM Do you have to be a genious? Hi! I am currently in high school. I have thought to major in engineering for years, but recently some doubts cross in my mind. What do I take into account to be a successful engineer? I mean, is it all about IQ? I don't feel I am that genius, but I love experiments and discoveries such as artificial tissue. And what are other jobs for biomedical engineers besides researcher? Sorry for asking so many questions. Thank you! God bless! :D Related to Self Doubt Reset Sort By Default Cindy Sheu , URS Corporation Answered Thursday, August 21, 2014 at 6:34 AM Communication will be your best friend when it comes to being a successful engineer. I had a boss once told me that, he meet a man who were a genius but had a hard time getting his idea across or organize it so others will understand him. It took a team of 5 people who went and talk to him and get his idea patent and now it is use for renewable energy foundation. The idea is so great that this one idea is sold around the world now. If the guy could communicate his idea across, he would of sold this idea about 15 years ago and be a millionair today. There is plenty of other jobs for biomedical engineers other than researcher. I personally got a God-brother who is working for a medical supply company as their lead sales engineer. Good luck with whichever way you choose.
