Confused about uni course!

To whoever reads this.. basically, I've applied to Oxford, Warwick, Bristol, Durham & St. Andrews - the former three for chemistry and the latter two for chemistry and physics. I'm currently waiting for Oxford's decision but I seem to have come to a crossroads. I love chemistry and think I'd enjoy studying it for four years, but I also love physics and maths (not referring to their crosslinks with chemistry), and even think I would enjoy aspects of an engineering degree (although I still don't know much about them). If Oxford accepts me, I think it'd be wise to stick with chemistry but if not, I don't know whether I should explore other options, as chemistry graduates are arguably less employable than maths/phys/engineering and I would potentially like something with a higher maths content. Any thoughts would be appreciated, cheers!

If you don't get in to Oxford consider applying to natural science at Cambridge and other unis.

I actually applied for chemistry and physics within NatSci at Durham so fair enough, that is an option. Now to decide if engineering is a viable option lol
