<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm a 10th grader (live abroad), I need to choose my IB Diploma subjects soon. Therefore, i need to align my subject choices to my intended major(s). There are two careers i'm interested in: banking and pharmacy (extremely different i know!)</p>
<p>I currently have been taking economics classes and biology/chemistry (getting A's/A*'s in all of them) classes for the past 2 years (9th/10th grade). I've definitely enjoyed my chemistry (my favourite subject)/biology/maths lessons MUCH more than my economics lessons. Economics seems very dry and boring to me, this may be due to the fact that i have a bad teacher but i'never really have the incentive to study at home because the subject matter doesn't interest me. Your probably thinking why on earth i'd even be considering a business career then? Well, my dad is financial analyst (charted accountant) and has always pushed me into going into business. He constantly tells me that my lack of interest in economics doesn't mean i won't enjoy working in the finance sector. After looking through some of my dad's university books and current work books i can honestly say it looks extremely boring! The classes required to major in the likes of accounting/finance/economics don't hone my interest the slightest bit. </p>
<p>Whereas the pharmacy pre-requisite classes sound extremely interesting to me. The career seriously interest me as it involves a lot chemistry (and science) and what not. It's something i can envision myself enjoy studying whilst in college unlike finance/accounting. I'm pretty decided on doing pharmacy but would like others opinions on if i'm making the wrong choice. I'm hesitant to drop economics as i excel in it - got the economics subject award at school this year and last year. What do you guys think? </p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
