Here in israel picking high level elective (we have a system with difficulty level between 1 point to 5 points of a subject.... and 4 or 5 point subjects give bonuses) can get you pretty far and its very hard to get into university so bonuses and good grades are a bonus

I would recommend studying something that interests you but also put an effort to collect bonuses so you wont struggle with college and have many different options

I myself wanted to study on a specific life sciences path that teaches advanced biology, advanced biochemistry and biotechnology (all advanced 5 point subjects with fat bonuses that were interesting to me) but i wasnt accepted for lousy junior high grades (depression period) and i understood how having good grades and bonuses can get you to the places you want

I ended up in industrial engineering (several combined subjects that mostly deal with math).... its a boring subject for me and im already gettin mad from doing stock charts, analyzing operations and planning costs and effectivity

Im acing it though and the high grades and bonuses it has given me with my personal effort in my SAT test allowed me to reach the requirements to get accepted into several subjects i was interested in studying and in the university no less ( we have 8 here and its very hard to reach their standarts)

What im trying to say is that you should take a look into many subjects to get a feeling of them since you might never know what might be a perfect fit...also what you do in high school will usually not be the main subject of your studies in college...and thats from the experience of knowing many people who do not want to do anything related to their electives

I hope i gave you a decent picture from the view of a high school senior who is already looking into university and degrees ^^

Hmm.. That's true.. But that's what I'm doing right now. This year I have Dance, Photography and Sewing as my electives. I really like Sewing so I planned to keep it just incase I switch into Fashion Designing. Hmm.. I chose photography cause it involved travelling and I likedthat idea.. But I wasn't enjoying it in school. At all. >\\<

And maybe I should take those 3 science branches.. Just in case it's required.

if you cant enjoy a science dont do it as it will just bore you....and if you cant deal with those in high school you wont go for those subjects in college anyway
