Your story seems very similar to mine. I am also from UCSD, and I debated between going into the health field and majoring in econ ( not management sci but close). I ultimately decided to stick with biochem and minor in econ if I feel like I can keep my grades up. I think if you start taking 16 units a quarter, you would feel a lot less overwhelmed and so you might do better at keeping your GPA decent. I personally do enjoy economics more than chemistry, but I feel the science field suits me better career-wise. In terms of pay-wise, however, I don’t think an accounting job would pay that much significantly less than nursing ( though it is not the case when compared to say pharmacy).
