1
Is a biomedical engineering major or biomedical engineering degree worth it?
2
That's what we're going to be talking about today and we are going to jump right into it.
3
What the heck is biomedical engineering?
4
So biomedical engineering is basically combining engineering with medical research and product development.
5
And they do this in order to create new ways to treat and cure injuries and diseases.
6
Now as somebody myself who works in healthcare, I think biomedical engineering is super cool.
7
I think it would be really cool to be a cyborg that's half machine and half human.
8
And so I hope that biomedical engineering blows up and we're able to integrate technology and machines into the body.
9
Okay, I'm kidding.
10
I'm kidding.
11
I don't want to actually be a cyborg, but I think you get the idea.
12
I think it's really cool.
13
Now, with this degree, you're going to have to have a firm grasp of engineering principles like mathematics and science.
14
But you're also going to combine that with a little bit of health care knowledge.
15
So you're going to be taking a lot of anatomy and physiology classes.
16
Now, because of the fact that you'll be making products that human beings will quite literally be using, not just physically, but they might be inside of somebody's body,
17
you have to think of things from a little bit of a marketing perspective as well.
18
A lot of people would be very weirded out by putting some sort of technology inside of their body, and so you need to make things as ergonomic and pleasing as possible.
19
Now around 7,400 people graduate with this degree every year, so I'd say it's kind of mid-tier.
20
It's not extremely rare, but it's also not a very common degree either.
21
Now on these videos, I like to break things down into four different sections, and the first one we're going to be talking about is going to be salary or earning potential.
22
Now with this degree, you'd expect to make around $67,000 a year starting out, and $116,000 in mid-career pay.
23
You can compare that to a high and low paying type of degree
24
and you'll see that this is on the higher paying side.
25
As a biomedical engineer you'd make around $91,000 a year or $43 an hour.
26
Another career path you might go down is becoming a materials engineer and they make around $93,000 a year and $44 an hour.
27
Now there are some related occupations that you might end up going down
28
and I'll have some of those pop up on the screen right now.
29
You can check those out.
30
You can pause the video if you want to.
31
And another thing to mention here is that engineers in general over a lifetime make really good money.
32
Actually more than any other type of degree at around 3.5 million dollars compared to the average degree which is 2.4 million.
33
Now keep in mind this is the latest census
34
which would be the last 40 years or so and so who knows what's going to happen in the next 40 years.
35
It could be engineering is the highest or maybe technology or something completely unrelated would take its place.
36
But overall that is a good sign and
37
because of all these things I'm going to give this one a score of 9 out of 10
38
when it comes to salary.
39
Next we're going to be talking about satisfaction and this one is extremely subjective.
40
For one person it might be the most amazing degree, the most amazing career ever, and for another person it might be awful.
41
So keep that in mind.
42
Take this section with a grain of salt.
43
For you it might be a 10 out of 10.
44
Put your own score in there.
45
With that being said I like to focus on meaning
46
and job satisfaction because these are the to most subjective things that we can look up and measure on the internet.
47
So when it comes to meaning, which is basically how much you think your career positively impacts the world, pay scale shows that biomedical engineering is at around 72%.
48
You can compare that to ones that have high and low meaning scores, and you'll see that it's definitely on the higher side of things.
49
Now, if you get this degree and you actually end up becoming a biomedical engineer, it gets even better.
50
They have a meaning score of 82%, and if you look at their job satisfaction, it is 69%.
51
And again, you can compare that to one that has really high scores
52
and one that has really low scores and you'll see that is on the higher side.
53
So if you are able to become a biomedical engineer you'll likely be very happy and satisfied with your job.
54
On top of that engineering majors in general tend to be degrees that people end up not regretting.
55
Engineering is the third least regretted type of degree only around 15% of people regret it.
56
And the main reason is
57
because some of the better jobs out there are going to require an advanced degree like a master's or a doctorate.
58
With that being said, like I mentioned before, this is extremely subjective.
59
It could depend on the company you work for, the particular career path you went down, the industry that you end up working in, where you live, the people you work with.
60
There's so many different things that are going to influence how happy you are with your job.
61
I think one of the reasons this one has such high job satisfaction
62
and meaning is because you are very directly helping people.
63
So a lot of the time you're going to be designing devices
64
that you think are going to literally save someone's life or maybe prolong their life or improve their quality of life.
65
And so that can give you a lot of meaning.
66
A lot of healthcare degrees in general have high meaning scores and oftentimes they'll have good job satisfaction as well.
67
And I think that's the reason is because you're directly helping people.
68
There's a lot of other careers where you might be helping people, but it's a little more indirect.
69
You don't necessarily get to see the fruits of your labors.
70
So with that being said, I am going to give this one a score of 8.5 out of 10.
71
It's one of the engineering degrees that has the highest meaning and job satisfaction.
72
And next we're going to be talking about demand, and this is where this one doesn't do quite as well.
73
So when you look on BLS, you'll see that there's 21,000 jobs available right now, and it's growing at 5%, which is a little faster than average.
74
So that means over the next 10 years there's going to be 1,000 new jobs that pop up, but remember what I talked about before, there's around 7,000 people graduating every year.
75
So one of the big weaknesses here is that if you want to become a biomedical engineer, you don't necessarily have to get a biomedical engineering degree.
76
A lot of people who go down that career path get mechanical engineering degrees
77
and then they just specialize and take extra classes in order to become biomedical engineers.
78
And on top of that, if you get a mechanical engineering degree, you've got a lot more flexibility.
79
There's so many other career paths you could go down.
80
So if your plans don't work out for whatever reason, maybe you meet somebody and you decide that you're gonna sell everything and move somewhere so that you can marry them, you have other options.
81
Whereas if you get a biomedical engineering degree, it's not gonna be nearly as flexible.
82
You are pigeonholing yourself somewhat.
83
Now, one career path you might end up going down is becoming a materials engineer
84
and they have around 27,000 jobs available now and they're growing at 2% which is slower than average.
85
So that one is going to have a lot of the same problems.
86
Now when it comes to unemployment in general of course you know things could be different here in 2020.
87
There's not any good statistics out right now on the specific degrees
88
but generally speaking STEM degrees have favorable unemployment rates
89
and engineering degrees are some of the best out of all the STEM degrees.
90
Now one little test I like to do is to look up biomedical engineering degree on monster.com
91
and you'll see that around 2,750 jobs pop up, meaning there's around 2,700 jobs that have that specific keyword in their job description.
92
Now again, you can compare this to a really good one and a really bad one, and you'll see that it's kinda on the lower side.
93
There's not that many employers or hiring managers out there that are looking for people with this specific degree.
94
So again, that is a little bit of a red flag
95
but one thing I always like to say about engineering degrees is even
96
if you don't end up working in the specific engineering field
97
that you were going for i.e. biomedical engineer a lot of
98
the time they just tend to be a little more well respected than other types of degrees.
99
So for instance you might give up on being a biomedical engineer
100
and then you apply for a completely unrelated job in business, for instance, and you might end up getting it just because of the fact that engineering degrees tend to be well-respected.
101
And you can see that when top companies are surveyed on what majors they're looking for to hire, engineering degrees are consistently at the top.
102
So they're usually either the number one or number two type of degree.
103
But with that being said, when you compare this one to a degree like mechanical engineering, it's much more recognizable.
104
So a lot of the time, people who have been hiring for a while likely would have hired somebody with a ME or mechanical engineering degree already.
105
So they'd be more comfortable hiring this person for a position that's unrelated, whereas somebody who has a biomedical engineering degree, they're kind of a wild card.
106
They might be the first person that a hiring manager has ever seen that has had that major.
107
So it's almost like some of the more common engineering degrees have real estate within people's brains.
108
They're just more used to it and
109
so therefore even though maybe you're just as good as a mechanical engineer they might not trust you as much.
110
So with that being said
111
when it comes to demand I'm going to have to give this one a 7 out of 10.
112
Next we're going to be talking about x factors and this is basically anything that's important that we didn't go over before.
113
So you remember before how I mentioned that over a lifetime engineering degrees in general tend to earn really good money.
114
So about 3.5 million over a lifetime compared to 2.4 million for all other types of degrees.
115
The lifetime earnings tend to be really high paying no matter what career you end up going into.
116
So for instance, I always like to show arts and media on average, it's only 2.4 million over a lifetime.
117
But if you get an engineering degree and then you become an artist, you know, arts and media, you're going to earn around $3 million.
118
Another great example is community service and legal.
119
So, you know, 1.8 million dollars for all types of degrees and 3.2 million for engineering.
120
Now again this could be correlation or causation.
121
It could just be the engineers are super smart and
122
so they would have been successful no matter what they did
123
or it could be that you know
124
when you get a degree it's going to teach you certain skills that are going to help you later on in life.
125
So I think it probably has a little bit to do with both.
126
Now when it comes to these skills you're going to learn biomedical engineering is pretty specific
127
and ZipRecruiter does not have an index for that.
128
However, mechanical engineering is going to be pretty close and they have it at 77 out of 100.
129
And again, you can compare that to a really good one and a really bad one, and you'll see that it's on the higher side.
130
So the skills that you learn will likely be pretty valuable, but you're going to have to prove yourself to your employer.
131
It might be pretty difficult for you to get your first job, especially if you don't end up becoming a biomedical engineer.
132
And again, the reason for that is
133
because they're just going to be much more familiar with people who have mechanical engineering degrees
134
and why take the chance when you know what you're getting
135
when you hire someone with a different degree that's much more common.
136
With that being said, it's very unlikely that any type of engineering degree, especially biomedical engineer, is ever going to be automated.
137
So according to Will Robots Take My Job, only a 4% chance here.
138
And when it comes to outsourcing, it's the same thing.
139
A lot of the time you're going to have to be working in person, and many engineering degrees are basically like the middleman between a technician and a scientist,
140
so you're someone who's going to be actually touching things in person, and that's just never gonna be able to be automated or outsourced.
141
Part of it might be but definitely not all of it.
142
There's a lot of creative intelligence involved there and I just really doubt
143
that it'll ever be fully outsourced or fully automated and
144
if it is then pretty much everything is going to be by that point.
145
Now another thing I always like to mention is
146
that engineering is a great segue into entrepreneurship and the reason I say
147
that is because it's the number one type of career that creates the most millionaires as well as billionaires.
148
And I think the reason for that is because it basically just teaches you practical problem solving.
149
And so a lot of the time you're going to be working a few years, you get some skills, you get some experience, and then you're going to recognize an opportunity where there's a problem that isn't currently being solved.
150
And if you're able to solve that problem, you know, bring value to the market, then there's a very good chance that you can become a millionaire.
151
But I always like to mention as well, engineering's tough.
152
There's a really high dropout rate and there's a reason for that you know, I have spent a lot of time around engineers and I'm telling you, they're pretty much just studying all the time.
153
Now with this one, I think it's really a dark horse candidate.
154
So it might not necessarily be really good right now.
155
And the reason for that is because a lot of the time, the same jobs that you could get with a biomedical engineering degree, you can do with a mechanical engineering degree,
156
and then you'd also have a lot more flexibility.
157
But with that being said, this one is a dark horse candidate in my opinion.
158
I think 10 or 15 years from now, this might be a big one.
159
I see a lot of advancement that's going to be made in the near future when it comes to biomedical engineering,
160
putting technology in humans and using technology in order to cure people or treat people that have different diseases or injuries.
161
It could be 10 years from now, 20 years from now, 30 years from now, but I think it's inevitable that this is going to be an industry that really takes off.
162
So overall I am going to give this one a 9 out of 10
163
when it comes to x-factor and I'm fully acknowledging that I could be wrong on that prediction.
164
Maybe it doesn't happen for another 60 or 80 years.
165
So some of the pros here are the salary is great, you know most engineering degrees are going to have a good salary.
166
It also has a high meaning score and the job satisfaction is good.
167
And then another pro is that it's just cool.
168
I mean I don't know maybe it's just me, but I think biomedical engineering is really cool.
169
Some cons here is
170
that some of the careers you might get into can be done by other degrees that are much more common, like mechanical engineering.
171
Some of the companies might not be comfortable hiring someone with just a bachelor's.
172
You might want to get a master's or a doctorate, depending on the position that you're going for.
173
It's also a relatively rare degree, and so you might end up kind of pigeonholing yourself a little bit into a particular skill set.
174
It's not necessarily as flexible as some of the other degrees
175
or maybe it is as flexible it's just not recognized as being as flexible if that makes any sense.
176
So the overall score here is going to be an 8.375 out of 10.
177
This can be a very good one for the right person.
178
As always make sure you do your research on this, make sure you plan it out, do your due diligence, you know figure out what career you're going for,
179
talk to people who are in that career and make sure you know exactly what you're getting yourself into.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
