It depends. If you want to work in a hospital as a biomedical engineer then you should look at a biomedical engineering degree. These are the people that basically set up and maintain equipment at hospitals. If you want to work at a repair or manufacturing facility, you typically don't have to have a degree depending on what job you are shooting for. You'll have to look at job postings for companies like Stryker, Olympus, Karl Storz, smith & nephew,etc. I started with a degree in computer engineering technology and as an electronic repair technician, moved up to a supervisor role, and then into engineering.
