Uncertainties about my uni course

Hey everyone, just a bit of background: I'm currently taking my A Levels. I have applied for a chemical engineering course and have received offers from Bath, Edinburgh and Lancaster. I'm predicted 3A*s and an A in physics, chemistry, maths and biology, respectively.

Here's the thing. I don't think i have ever really enjoyed science subjects very much (particularly biology and chemistry), and I think that it especially showed during my interviews for my top 2 choices (got rejected from both of them, lol). My grades have pretty much come from the pressure of my parents and self anxiety. I was initially 'molded' to become a doctor. I thought that by taking an engineering degree, I would kind of lessen the intensity of the 'science' i would get, with it being a really vocational subject. After research however, i found that there is usually on average only one module for the business aspect of engineering from all my courses. For the most part, i only applied to engineering because of the faux ideology in my country that only doctors, engineers or lawyers will have successful careers.

I'm guessing it is the mixed feelings of anxiety and uncertainty that made me write this post. I don't know if i can take 3-5 more years of "science", or chemistry, for that matter. Before you call me out for being 'lazy' for wanting to take an 'easier course', I just want to make a point that I know that any respectable course at university is going to have its own level of difficulty for their own reasons.

Would it be possible to switch over to a different course, say economics or marketing with my current subject choices? Would it be advisable to take something like mechanical over chemical? Should I stick with chemical? why?

Thanks for any advice, TSR
