Career in biohacking
Okay so it is time for me to goto college and I am looking at making a full blown career in biohacking, I know that there are a few here who run sites centered around selling mods and hardware. Nothing against anyone but I look at these site and they all sell about the same thing for about the same price. Is there more that could be done with a college degree, while not pissing off medical boreds/courts? Also I believe @chrionex, @birdmachine and @alexsmith all my have shops do y'all have any sort of regulations you have to comply with? I have no clue what I am going todo for a career in biohacking I just know I want to do it.
Here are the two best resources I have found thus far:

I am thinking I am going to do my basics in chemistry and biochem, after that I am thinking I am going to take a shot at getting into letourneau for several medical classes, like bioengineering biology anatomy. Once I get out I may go back for electrical and mechanical engineering. Yea if I turn 40 and am still in college then I am right on track.

Honestly and no offense to cyberise and dangerousthings but if you have connections to suppliers there is no need to truly go hard core for education on it. On a goods sale you mostly are gathering items to sell at a reasonable price. (Buy from vendors cheap, sell to people marked up). That route requires a working knowledge of the item you are selling which is why they are able to do so much but aside from a business degree for running a store/business successfully I can't see requiring much.
Again I really mean no offense guys. I too run a shop only its for reptiles.
The fields of study you mentioned will definitely help you know what your talking about on implants and electronics, not saying you don't already. As for a job in an area that's growing all I could really say is it's growing the jobs aren't quite there yet and won't be till it gets more mainstream. Get the experience and knowledge for when it really takes off because it won't always be the backyard grinder, it will be the big tech company's doing R&D.
I hope that helps.

Why not a degree in biomedical engineering? The right school and right program make all the difference (albeit tuition varies with location). Assuming cost is no obstacle, a college with plentiful research capabilities is ideal second to having the right program. You'll have access to labs, equipment, etc.
There are some basics that I feel could be better covered. The only thing I would add to that is chemistry you know nootropics.:)
@Dirksavage88
I assume that would be like doing repair work on machines like MRI's and what not.
From what I have seen nobody truly knows enough about chemistry, biology, medical, and engineering. I see the same stuff being sold by different people at about the same price. A few might have a thing or two unique to them but for the most part most people don't seem to be trying to innovate.
@cathasach
I absolutely agree with you! It is not a matter of if it is a matter of when someone dies from doing this. There have been a couple of close calls to my knowledge alone.
