Was in about the same position as you. One of my degrees is in biomedical engineering, was good enough that a couple private companies paid for my MBA and living expenses. Since I couldn't stand the bureaucracy around the FDA I focused on the software and hardware. Then used my biology / biomechanics background to create cool products in a wide array of fields, but nearly all of them had something to do with biology/neuroscience (ie, medical SaaS, equipment/software for the apparel industry, mobile learning tools, artificial intelligence, etc).

Forget about the money, find something you enjoy. If you like biology, find problems in the field that need to be solved. Then solve them. If you are look for some extra money, I did part-time design work for a couple large Fortune 500 companies in areas I enjoyed (both physical and software). Pay was pretty nice.

Remember engineering and the sciences teach you how to think, it's up to you to apply it to other fields. If you're analytical programming is really easy to pick up. It took me a week to learn and make my first app for the iphone. Three weeks to make my first Rails app w/ graphics and a back-end. Learn Object-Oriented-Programming first, after you grasp that it's really easy to pick up new languages since most of the differences are just syntax.
