I'm interested in all three fields equally but I'm not sure which one I should stick with for the rest of my life :/
In terms of job openings, future growth and salaries which course will be the best?

I'm planning to put down UNSW B(elect)/M(elect) dual degree, B(chemical eng) or B(chemical)/M(biomedical) for my UAC pref :)

Job opportunities in Australia currently for these engineering majors are electrical>chemical>>>biomedical. Also, I wouldn't really recommend doing masters straight after bachelors especially for someone with no work experience as employers generally down on these kinda things. As for what you're interested in, you can chose to do a general engineering degree where you can experience what the different disciplines offer before specialising.

These types of degrees are called flexible first year where you can choose different electives from different disciplines.

Just because you studied engineering at university does not mean you are obligated to do that until you retire.

Electrical has the best opportunities.

I like to disagree. Electrical is very difficult to find a job in. Civil Engineering is the way to go.
