      Yes. I really enjoy science – both as an interest and a means to a career.
      However, follow what you find interesting – with just a bit of an eye as to what might make a career. It is very difficult to make a living in a field that requires both excellence and luck – music and sport for example.

    Degrees in science open many doors… 🙂 so it’s never a bad idea to study science! That said, I would not recommend chosing a subject you struggle with, that would be zero fun! There is no right or wrong there, just a right for you. Good luck! (and always remember that no decision is final, changing your mind is allowed!)
