I made a change regarding my career plans

I made a change regarding my future plans...

I've thought about doing medicine for a long time now, but i had serious doubts and concerns as i wanted something with more physics and maths (more of problem solving and puzzles) than chemistry and biology (memorisation) so I am thinking of biomedical engineering.
but i still do have some questions: 1.) how much physics and maths is there in biomedical engineering?
2.) what's the demand on this kind of job and what's the average financial reward for such a job?

thank you

I don't know what country you in but here's a syllabus: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/images/ugs_pdfs/bioeng.pdf"

and here's another: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/bioengineering/teaching/undergraduate"

I am very happy that you took a positive step toward pursuing your genuine interests.

thanx a lot specially to u rho. I am reading the syllabuses and it seems really interesting to me as it has lots of math (i hope i'll be studying calculus in these courses) and some physics too. i love the variety. just one more thing: what's the demand and ease of employment in these kinds of jobs? as well as financial rewards (just want to know hehe)?

and curious: thanks to you as your neutral feedback on medicinal career has broadened my view.

In America the situation for biomedical engineers is apparently not good. Schools are producing a lot of them and there are not a lot of positions in the biotech field that require a PhD most only require you to listen to the one PhD who works with you and be a chimpanzee. Good luck though.

then again that's how it is with most professions,,, at least in many eingineering fields
