Biomedical Engineering vs Computational Biology

[lattesogood]

I'm currently applying for graduate school and have been accepted to biomedical engineering programs and computational biology/bioinformatics programs. Which degree would be better to pursue (has better career prospects). The biomedical engineering programs I have applied to have a division in computational biology. Course work is relatively similar as well.

The biomedical engineering lab I'm in collaborates pretty intimately with a computational immunology lab; basically they design proteins and we make them and test them. I'm always impressed with the abilities of the computational people since they can write scripts really quickly. Both PIs are relatively new so no graduate students have finished yet but the postdocs we've had have had no problems finding jobs at all. It depends on what type of life you want to live after you graduate. I think the computational side is more geared towards academia while the biomedical engineering stuff my lab does is better suited for industry.
