I am a high school senior and I want to go into biological/biomedical engineering. I've been accepted to some pretty good engineering schools like University of Illinois and others, but many people say that even if I graduate from a good school, jobs in bio-engineering are hard to come by and I will have a tough time finding a job. Do you agree? Thank you!

I have many sorority sisters who graduated in engineering at the University of Illinois and they had a fantastic experience - it is a great school! I would say that finding a job isn't any harder than any other type of engineering. Also, getting a degree in any type of engineering will really help open doors for you in so many areas, so I wouldn't worry too much about getting a job. I would recommend to get involved on campus, try to get elected to leadership positions in organizations you are passionate about, and definitely try to get as many internships and co-ops as possible. Having "real world" experience is the best way to get your foot in the door and increases your chances greatly to be employed after graduation. The important thing is what you are passionate about and what will create a life-long drive to study and learn in that field. If that is biomedical engineering for you, definitely pursue that degree. Hope that helps!
