BSBE
(OP)
Just want to know if anyone else has experience with or insight into this:
My fiance recieved her bachelors deg from a good public school in Biomedical Engineering. Problem was she had a hell of a time getting a job and most doors slammed in her face because they wanted mechanical or electrical engineers. The job she finally got was more testing oriented and there wasn't much thought involved. She eventually quit because it was too boring, and she wasn't solving any problems like engineers are supposed to do. Now she is in healthcare, making considerably less but is happier.
Why do they offer such a degree if nobody will hire someone with it?

RE: BSBE
Of course there's always the possibility that she's not really that interested engineering. My wife's also in medicine making less than she would if she was using her BSME. And that's after paying for 3 more years of school. I still cry myself to sleep.

RE: BSBE
I eventually had to settle for working in a clinical lab setting as a technician, and have learned some valuable GC/MS and HPLC/MS, but my dream is to work as a R&D Engineer in medical devices/products.
Can anyone advise me as to how to get my foot in the door? Much appreciated!
RE: BSBE
From what I understand of the Biomed Eng degrees, they give you the skills be a project manager in a medical device company. Unfortunately, that's not an entry level position, and they don't teach you the skills you need to get there.
