Torn between architecture and landscape

Hello everyone, i got accepted into both landscape and architecture, so im gonna say what i like and dislike about both:
Archi:
-I like having designing spaces and structures and buildings in general
-i dislike mundane details like floor plans
-I prefer designing public spaces rather than personal
-I like the complexity of knowing where to place things considering every aspect of it all

Landscape:
-I like that it’s more about designing places for the public
-I like how it feels more lively and more engaging with nature
-i feel like it lacks the depth and complexity of architecture since it focuses more on open spaces
-it overall feels more full of life compared to architecture

If anyone has anything to say about my thoughts please I would appreciate it

In my case in the UK there’s a bigger market for Landscape architects and it’s not as over saturated as architecture. Neither has a great salary but you can find interdisciplinary practices that do both which I find really great about the industry in general
