If you ask this question people will answer you by praising Science in all respects and explaining the beauty of it. True! Science is beautiful. But for me there are several other reasons involved.
From my childhood I was told that my Mom and Dad both are Science stream post graduates, Also my Mom's father always wanted to marry his daughter to someone who has studied Science in his life as according to him only a Science graduate has brains. My entire family had Science background except one or two. So it was pre-decided that I'll go with Science further in my life, pre-decided not by my parents but by me as I thought people will call me weak if I don't opt for Science.
The dilemma of our Education system is that we have to decide upon our subjects the time we reach 11th standard (~ 15 years old). I don't think at that time we are mature enough to decide what we want and what we are good at. Even I had no idea.
I was a good student and was confident enough about Science because I was sure that I cannot do anything in any other stream. Arts and commerce both gave me strange looks commerce being an entirely new subject linking to business which as a profession didn't interest me. Art subjects looked confused in themselves where we need to memorise responses and many-a-times they were not sure which response is correct or may be there are "n" number of correct responses.
Science on the other side is very much concrete and methodical. We have a particular logic about why it is this way. Also, we can solve our query about everything that is happening around us, a logical response indeed is obtained. And all these things made me feel that Science is the best of all and I can excel only in Science.
My opinion took a turn the time I joined my B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education) after graduating in Chemistry. In B.Ed. they teach you Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology as a compulsory subject. In the beginning these subjects were a headache for me because I didn't understand a word but slowly and steadily I started liking the fact that these subjects have "a range" of answers and not a single particular response to a question. I started developing my ideas as well. As one of my Teachers used to say - "You Science people have extremely structured mind, you don't even try to listen and ponder upon a set of responses to a particular question." So, I gave it a try and succeeded as well.
And finally I concluded that all of these subjects have a thing of beauty, you just need to understand the nature of it.
Choose anything but love it for your entire life!
