Serious question. Why would bio molecular engineering be bad?
Is this a joke?
Soo... how does Veeky Forums feel about statistics?
It's an over-specialization with a small job market. The same reason why aerospace engineering is in bad too.
CS / SE should be god tier. Literally have half a brain and do a shitty internship or two, make a few apps, and after four years go make 90k+ pretty much in any big city in the United States.
This is an interesting post.
I'm a structural engineer and even in the building industry we're are seeing that people who design structures are 'over specialised' for more elaborate projects.
In the small office I work in, we had a project come in for a retracting glass roof. We were requested to design everything for the initial concept, and the engineers in the office (who are usually excellent) were at a loss.
It needed me, a graduate, to design and prototype a mechanism for the roof to open and close, and then provide that assembly to the original team to do the simple statics for the roof. I have never even studied mech eng - I just take an interest, and learn how to make things in my spare time.
I was dumbfounded. People in my industry can't program, they don't know how gears work, can't design a pulley system and have no concept of electronics.
I think people have trouble understanding things outside their bubble because they are scared of complexity, or worse - don't understand the (very obvious) benefits of understanding other fields.
Genetic engineering should be one higher. Job security is actually pretty decent.
Where would Forestry fall? Life Sciences? That can't be correct, as Life Sciences is in the Mid Tier instead of the God Tier.
I propose that Forestry have it's own section above God Tier called "Forestry Tier", comprised of Forestry and Fisheries Science.
Good thread to ask I guess. I'm an Electrical Engineer Major right now, but I'm thinking of switching over to Mechanical. Which has better job offers or higher growth? Also wanna do a Masters in Biomedical Engineering since I want to do that but it's risky move to study that at the bachelor's level.
Neither
We're all gonna die
Stay in electrical. If you don't get a job as an actual electrical engineer you can always fall back on programming/CS/software engineering jobs, something that mechanical engineers don't have the luxury of having.
