Math, Science, and just about anything in High school is very easy. In college, it actually starts to get hard (any subject, really). A lot of people ace Physics in HS, but how many would make it as Physics majors? not many.

Science majors aren’t that lucrative, unless you mean Engineering or Computer Science. Seriously, I’m a science major and most Chem/Bio/Physics/Neuro/Biochem majors I know don’t really know what the hell we’re gonna do after graduation, unless it’s Med/Grad/Dental school. What the hell are you supposed to do with a Chem degree anyway? Only on CC have I ever heard sci majors are lucrative. By “science majors” they mean Comp Sci and Engineering. Many science majors go into Finance, where they do well simply because they’re smart, but their major has little to do with it.

The lucrative majors are Economics, Finance and Business, so study those if you’re looking to make money. They’re relatively easy and lead to jobs. If a job is what you’re after, study Economics, not BioChem!

If you like Chem, stick it out and see how it goes, but Intro Chem is generally pretty easy - advanced courses are a lot harder!
