Biomedical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering

Hello, thank you in advance for the advice you have to offer me.

My dilemma is that i will be on scholarship for a dual engineering degree that will allow me to double major during a 5 year period at Butler University and Purdue University. I am mostly interested in Mechanical Engineering and Bio-medical Engineering but my dilemma is choosing between those two.

here is the site if you dont understand what i mean by a dual degree program http://www.butler.edu/engineering-dual-d…

I know that Mechanical Engineering is more versatile and has more overall capabilities in the field but Biomedical interests me too. I think I would be happy with either path but I would like to know your experiences with both or each one. What is the outlook on graduate school after bachelors for these degrees? Which has the better job outlooks? Which is having more advancements? Any help would be welcome.

After 32 years I am still happy with my Mechanical degree.

If there were to be a slump in the Bio-medical industry jobs could become scarce. With a Mechanical degree you are not tied to any one industry so you would be more versatile.
