Career choices?

I am in year 12 right now and I do math chemistry physics and business a level and I ma unsure what career path to take.I also want to drop either chemistry or business in year 13 but don't know which because I love business and think finance would be a good fit for me but chemistry would give me more opportunities into engineering and chemistry related courses.please help me😔

Hey, first, I want to tell you to breathe! 🙂
A lot of us feel like this when it comes to loads of Year 12s.
Maths - are the KEY thing (because it keeps both finance and engineering open). Engineering courses often need them, also Physics, while economics and finance - strong maths.
Ask yourself: Which do you find more enjoyable everyday, and which course you're more likely to get better grades in?
I'd advice to go for business if you (in the long-term) would see yourself happier in finance. However, chemistry makes things more flexible if you're unsure and want to keep engineering open.
Either way, I think you're in a good position because you already have strong subjects. 🙂
