Comment on Which career to pursue?

Based on what you wrote, it seems like you need to take a step back and look at the whole picture. Why are you at school and what do you want to study.

Goin to school can help you position yourself for a career, but is usually primarily about becoming educated (and isn’t for everyone).

If you’re primarily concerned about a career, then focus you’re studies on something you feel capable in. Physics requires a lot of mathematics (and nowadays usually some programming). Programming coursework may have mathematics, but usually relies more on logic than math. Writing is a great way to work on communication skills and analysis, but will have a less direct career path after school (becoming a professional writer is no guarantee).

On top of all of that, most people won’t even end up working in their field of study.

At the end of the day, no one really knows where the economy is going long term. That means there isn’t a surefire path to success, and why I recommend you think harder about what you feel good about pursuing.
