Cannot figure out what course to choose from in uni.

I study Maths, Economics and Physics and my predicted grades are A*AA with the A* being in maths. The course that I am thinking to apply for are in between Aerospace Engineering or finance. However, I just cant make a decision as I never really had passion for a future job that I always wanted. I keep doing research about them but I keep jumping from one course to another. What advice would you give me?

Research the industries, assuming you are considering a career in aerospace related jobs you could look at aircraft propulsion, aircraft flight & mechanics, aircraft avionics, manufacturing, supply chain etc.
Working in finance could mean a whole host of things accounting, tax, audit, corporate finance, investor relations, capital markets, financial advisory, investment management, Ib, consumer banking….
Id focus on what you are a passionate about ultimately you will be in your professional life for potentially 40+ years so i do recommend going after things you would enjoy talking about every day.

Most people would find engineering quite a lot more interesting and its also less competitive, but itll almost definitely be a tougher course, and there's greater earning potential in finance especially if you achieve those predicted grades and go to one of the typical "target" unis.
