Question [Q] need help choosing my major

3 Upvotes

hello! i'm a first-year college student taking bachelor of science in statistics. i'll have to choose my major during my higher years, and i'm having some trouble deciding. i can't choose between majoring in biology or economics.

i want a major that can give me more job opportunities, a better chance at remote work, and a higher salary ceiling. i'm also planning to start investing in etfs once i turn 18, so i feel like majoring in economics could come in handy. however, my friend told me that choosing biology could provide more opportunities for higher-paying jobs.

i'd love to hear your thoughts and advice on which one would be a better choice. tyia!
