ALTERNATIVE PATHS

Ok guys. I'm interested (if there's a possibility in the future) in pursuing a career on regenerative medicine.

So the first tought that came to my mind was to get a biology oriented/related degree (biology, molecular bio, biotech, biological engineering, biochem, etc).

But apparently, from what i gathered around internet, there's not only an oversaturation of people with these sort of degrees, but also there aren't many research positions (positions which supposedly you need a lot of experience to occupy), neither job oportunities to apply for, not to mention that the wages for these professions are low in comparision with the rest of the stem options.

Wouldn't it be easier to get a job in this field by majoring on a non-bio subject, like Applied physics, Chemistry, Comp Sci, Elec. Eng ?
