      INTRODUCTION

      What do you want to be when you grow up?

      I still don’t know, and I am 36 years old. When I was growing up, I remember my parents and others asking me that same question. Should I be a doctor? Should I be a lawyer? I knew that those were lucrative professions but could never imagine myself reading through countless pages of court cases, or needing almost a decade of schooling to become a doctor.

      Thus, my search began to find the perfect career. During my high school days, the Internet didn’t exist—it was not in every home like it is today. There were no smart phones. I remember the early days of email when everyone heard, you’ve got mail. The Internet was still so young and kind of like the Wild West. It was all about pop up ads and painfully slow download times.

      I wish back then there was information out there like you are about to read in this ebook. That may have changed my life’s path completely.

      The world has changed so much in the last few years. The poor world economy and competition from overseas has created a fundamental shift in which careers have the brightest future for people just entering college now.

      One of my greatest professional passions is developing new talent, so it is my personal mission to publish a quick and useful guide that provides an overview to the Best College Majors for the Next Decade.

      As a student embarking on your higher educational journey, you need to know the emerging college majors, the top schools and courses of study, and the types of jobs you can obtain once you graduate.

      Read this ebook, and do your research. Then go chase your dreams and find an emerging major that’s right for you.

      BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

      As technology has soaked into all parts of life, it has been applied to more than just instruments of recreation. The studies of medicine, biology, computers, chemistry, and engineering combine to develop devices and programs to extend human life. Prosthetics have evolved from antiquated wooden attachments to fully functioning extensions of the body. Organs grown from materials such as stem cells provide transplants to patients who may otherwise be forced to wait years on a donor list. Reproductively-challenged parents are able to have children of their own, and even choose the sex, thanks to IVF and genetic manipulation. Delicate and technical surgeries are made simpler and less perilous by AI and robotics which assist doctors. Deep tissue laser therapy eliminates pain and inflammation in athletes by stimulating the body at a cellular level. MRI’s, PET’s, ultrasound, and CT’s detect cancer before metastasis. Aural implants assist a child to hear their mother’s voice. Sophisticated devices and chairs give new life to disabled persons, allowing them to play sports, drive, and even dance. These all are
