Ive nearly finished my course, but I do not want to become a bioengineer. What are my options?
First you should think about what you want to do before job-searching. It helps to identify your skills, both technical and transferable. You do not have to stay in bio-engineering, or even in engineering; your degree will have taught you how to approach problems analytically, which is useful in any profession. You could consider applying for jobs in financial institutions such as banks, who need your mathematical skills, or in general commerce, or consultancy. The careers office will have details of opportunities in this area. Alternatively you could use your engineering skills in a number of areas. IT is an area where a mixture of technical, commercial and personal skills can be put to use in a number of areas. If you are good at software then a number of industries, ranging from financial institutions to aerospace companies, need software engineers,. These companies may well give training in their own particular business.
