What major should I choose?

I am good at math and basically every subject taught in school. I’ve always been quite creative and I’m good at art. I wonder what specialty would suit me best. I’ve been thinking about computer science but I have no prior experience and I don’t know if I will like it or not. I’ve been also thinking about architecture and I am sure I will enjoy it but what about job opportunities? I still don’t know if I will have more opportunities if I go with computer science or with architecture. I have no idea what to choose and I am very lost + i’m an international student and I have to take a foundation year (which is pretty expensive) and all of the fees are at least 2 times higher than the ones for British students so I need to choose extra wise. Pls give me an advice, anything can help

Hi, I want to emphasise that being talented at every subject taught in your school means that you're in a good position already. Since you haven't had any prior experience in computer science, I'd recommend signing up for an internship/work experience placement to see if you enjoy the style of working. As for architecture, I'd advise that you choose a degree that you are passionate about, but I understand that many people do not mind working in jobs that they have neutral opinions on. I can give a more definite answer to the number of job opportunities: computer science is certainly more in demand than architecture, as are other maths-related degrees. At the end of the day, I'd encourage you to choose a degree that you're passionate about and are extremely competent at.
