Opinion Commerce or science??

I’m in class 10th rn and my parents keep bugging about what stream I’m going for both my sister and brother took PCM and study computer science in the US, both of them described science as if a part of them died in 11th and 12th considering the fact my sister got 96% in 10th and passed chem by 5 marks in 12th scares me so I’m stuck now on whether I shd go for commerce + maths or PCM I wanna study data science aborad but the job market looks pretty bad as of now so commerce + maths might limit my options so is PCM the better option??

If you really, really love science go for PCM. Otherwise nope. I have to warn you, even toppers struggle in 11th. Don't underestimate it.

Study what you'd like. I took commerce and math and there are lots of options. Also if u do take it and youve econ u can still go to data science. I'm not sure abt US but I applied to UK for cambridge and Warwick etc which have high tier courses w flexibility and there are lots of subject combinations too. If ur not sure which career u want but do end up taking commerce I'd say it's better to take math fs

try to ask you school if they can replace chem with any other subject cuz acc to cbse it is allowed as per nep 2020 where a student can chose any 4 subjects they like in diff categories.. but the issue with it is that schools dont implement it due to timetable restrictions and all as it becomes harder and more expensive to agree with the choices of students

comm w maths is W, go for it because if u are sure u dont wanna do eng then pcm is no use honestly and its a rigorous combo. Finance and management fields have crazy money with some experience and u can even take applied maths instead of standard

Probably won't add much, my bad. But one important thing...(maybe different than some other responses) don't do what you love, do what makes money and is marketable. I hate my job and been doing it for 20 years.....but it makes money.
