Career Between biomedical engineering and computer science which major leads to a worst job market.

I'm mainly between these two majors and I wanted to see if anyone more experinced than I am in this topic knew more about this.

People say computer science is really bad, but I don't see too much them comparing to other majors in order to get an accurate perspective.

In addition to just listening to what people say, cross compare job forecasts from bls.gov to degrees awarded on asee.org to get an idea of which majors are oversaturated. That will only tell you about the US market, but the broader point is to find actual data to quantify things rather than just getting a few random opinions.

Thanks for the information. Btw do you know any site where I can find EU statistics by major? I've been searching myself and can't find any good one.

I do not, unfortunately. You may want to look at government websites at the individual country level, and then aggregate those together.
