Hi everyone!
I'm really struggling to decide between two courses for Uni next year...
I love Biomedicine, it's really interesting to me and I love the thought of eventually being able to help people get better through natural means (I love the idea of being a dietitian, and I know that job opportunities in this field are growing) - like people who have diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc..
However, I also really love Engineering, specifically Aeronautical Engineering. I just find it so fascinating, and I would love to help engineer and design new safer planes for people to travel in. I would also love to get a pilot's license in the future (not to become a pilot, but just to fly smaller planes every now and then). I find planes amazing.
Now the issue I'm facing is, I have to pick either one or the other for next year. I can't do a double degree of Aeronautical Engineering & Biomedicine at Monash because it's not an option (isn't it just my luck that practically all other Engineering types are offered in a double degree with Biomed, like Mechanical and Civil, but not Aeronautical?!), so I definitely have to choose between them.
Also, in terms of my eventual career, I love both of them, but I really dislike Biomedical Engineering. I would rather study one alone. If I do Engineering, I want it to be pertaining to aircraft, not biomedicine, and if I do biomedicine, I don't want to have to include engineering in it because I'd like to help treat people naturally through diet.
This is a real dilemma for me. Any and all advice is appreciated!
Thank you so much
