Biomed Patent Law

Just finished my undergraduate degree in biological systems engineering with an emphasis in biomedical engineering - heading to law school being heavily interested in patent law. What does this field look like for me? Do Bio/chem patent attorneys truly need more advanced degrees (Masters,PhD etc) or is there still work for me? Do I need industry experience to break into this field? I’ve genuinely heard it both ways, that I’m either screwed on the prosecution end or that I’ll be completely fine. I’m also interested in the litigation side of things, but I enjoy writing and reading too much to not at least attempt patent prosecution in my field. Any and all comments are appreciated. Thank you guys!
