I do definitely agree that BME is really broad degree that overlaps into a lot of different fields. In my opinion, when starting out, it’s definitely good to some a variety of skill sets, rather than just one. Companies want to see that you’re capable of adapting and learning new things. This can be hard if you’ve only focused on one skill and learning new ones on-the-job can be challenging (especially if this is later in life). I’m still in the early stages of my career so I feel like knowing “a little bit of everything” has helped me so far.
However, I do think as you get more and more settled into your career and you’ve figured out what areas you want to focus on, it’s better to hone and develop your skills so they target that specific area.
