I think it quite a norm for student didnt know anything about what course to take. When I was in uni doing matriculation, everyone will have only 2 choice in their head, medicine or engineering. When ask about what actually engineering does, many dont have a clue. In the end some of them being 'lelong' because grade is not good enough to be in engineering or medicine school.
Why dont you read around on different course beside those 2? You might find some of them quite interesting. I took a geology when I was in uni. Class was easy, got field trip every now and than. Now been working in O&G for the past 10 years. And you know what people said about O&G salary...
