How versatile and stable are the chemical engineering vs. bioengineering fields, and where do the two overlap??

I'm a student at Oregon State University currently majoring in Bioengineering. I'm considering switching to Chemical Engineering. So far, I have taken on one internship doing biochemistry research and I'm a licensed Pharm Tech. I know that I'm interested in Biochemistry and Chemistry, and I want to know which major is most applicable to pharmaceuticals or has the potential to expand my options should I find out I'm interested in non-pharma things. If you can, please also comment on any potential salary differences. Thank you for your help!

How do I choose the right major?

How do I know if biomedical engineering is the right major for me? I don't really like the concept but i think it'll be a cool major if I focus on the engineering part solely.

What is the difference between a biomedical engineer or a biomedical physicist?

I am high school student who heard there was high demand in people to calibrate medical machines. I was told it required a biomedical physicist degree but I also see there is an option for a biomedical engineer too. I am confused on which I would need to go into or maybe I just need a certificate and no college degree.

Which UCs in California have good medical connections to companies like pharmaceutical providers focused on using advanced technology?

I am an 11th grader in high school, and my focus in the job market is working in the medical field with the integration of advancing technology after graduating college. In college, I want to major in biotech. After graduating from four years of college, I would like to go to medical school for four years, but becoming a specialized doctor would take me two more years in medical school. In total, I will spend 10 years studying to prepare the right knowledge and understanding in the medical field. I would like to know anything about the medical field in pharmaceuticals so that I can prepare myself on what to do and what not to do before getting myself into this for 10 years. My skills are having a positive mindset to learn something new every day and an understanding of complex vocabulary in works of literature and songs.

What is biomedical engineering all about? and do you think it is a job relevant in our ever-growing technology based world? I am interested in it because I really like both Biology and Chemistry. I am an average grade student in grade 12.

Do I need a "spike" in my interests for college applications?

I see a lot of advice that students should have a spike in their applications to demonstrate interests and clear focus/passion. If they want to go into computer science they should do mainly computer science related classes and extracurriculars. I want to go into biomedical engineering so I am in engineering club, doctors without borders, and science honor society. However, I am also interested in public speaking so I do mock trial, TV production, and speech and debate, but I don't plan on pursuing that as my major in college. Will this negatively affect my college applications? If it does, what should I do from here?
