Should I work between my undergraduate and graduate programs? Or put it off and just go straight into my graduate program?

So basically what the title says. I'm currently in the third year of my undergrad in Chemical Engineering and I'm looking to make the switch over to Biomedical Engineering for my graduate studies. I wasn't sure if it would be worth taking a year or two off to get some sort of work experience and then enrolling in a graduate program, or if I should just jump straight into doing my master's program.

All my undergraduate research portfolio and my thesis work are lining up in the Biomedical sector, if that's worth anything, and I've been internshipless if that also helps. I'm honestly just super torn between the two and I know that I need to start looking into specific grad schools and trying to make connections ASAP if that's the case.
