environmental health science careers
What is a good degree if you’re someone whose interested in science?

I’m going into my last year of high school next year, and I’ll be applying for university then.
I’m undecided on what I want to do for a major. My best subject is biology (95%). My worst subject is math (80%).

For a career, I’m thinking somewhere along the lines of:
Medicine / Health Science
Engineering (leaning towards biomedical, environmental, or chemical)
Architecture

Whatever I’ll be doing, I’m going to be getting a master’s on it. As for my bachelor, what major can prepare you best for these? So once I go to grad school, in whatever I want to do, I’ll be relatively well-prepared?
I don’t have enough money to be spending my first year taking random courses trying to figure out what major to take.

Majors I’m thinking of:
Biology
Civil engineering
Environmental science

What do you think?

I would recommend Biology. Both because it’s your best subject and it’s a very good major to have if you’re interested in pursuing medicine. I would steer away from Architecture and Engineering, only because math is involved, and although you aren’t awful at it, you’re much better at biology.

Anyway, you don’t need to make up your mind on a major right away. Usually you don’t have to declare until sophomore year. Take a few entry-level courses and see what works for you.
