I' just graduated from high school, am strong in math and science, and am considering majoring in biological engineering. I would probably do the program with the pre-med requirements, but I was just wondering what the other options were, other than med school. I'd appreciate any insights.

Well there's always animal husbandry as long as you don't get caught.
Seriously, fermentation and distillation are going to even bigger major industries as the fuel crisis grows.
Environmental Engineering ... designing biological assistance to help with environmental problems, cleaning up oil spills, etc ..
Plant Bio Engineering ... Ok, there's a few political hurdles there, but it's coming
Stem Cell Research
Phamacuticals (the legal ones)
Sanitation ... see Environmental Engineering
Alternate Chemical Conversion processes
Biological Munitions
Biological Computation (yes it is possible, the brain works doesn't it ... well, I mean your brain works)
And on and on and on ....

Biological Engineering deals primariy with the engingeering of the biological systems as the name entails.
It would include bio-fermentation, bio-preservation, processing of biological products etc. Some of the applied fields would be the food processing industry, chemical industry, water and waste management etc.

I'm sure Al Queda would be interested in hiring you to make a bio-WMD for them.
Don't know if the job comes with a good pension plan, though.
