So which do you think is more important in subject selection, any experience in the dilema?

It's not too uselful to me now, but when i was deciding my subjects i had a difficult decision between chemistry and music. Id say my ability in chemistry was high but my enjoyment was medium, and the reverse was applied for music.
In the end i chose music, i dont regret it but i do wonder how things would be different. The chem students seem complain about the teacher and pointless work load abit.

So whats your opinion?

I might as well make this a poll while im at it
I threw in the third option just incase

edit: yay first poll in this forum

During school I always did ok in maths, but I grew to hate it fiercely. After school I had to choose the subject for my degree, and for some dumb reason which I still can't figure out, I chose maths. I kind of knew that I wouldn't last in a maths-only degree, so I decided to do a double-major between maths and computer science. Now, the comp-sci major is definitely my main one and maths takes a back seat but I I love maths and kind of realise now that I always did.

I think that enjoyment of a subject is important, but for me success (generally) brings enjoyment. So that's why I chose maths, I guess.

Getting grades isnt the only purpose to education, its meant to enlighten you and help you think for yourself. Luckily I do a combined honours in two things I enjoy, film and politics.

If I done something I was good at but didnt like, for example, computers, I dont think I could stick with education, I'd drop out of university and get a job.

I was never-ever good at things like maths, and bad teaching killed my like of computers.

Something you enjoy AND are good at. I tend to find the two go hand in hand, it's rare to enjoy something and not be good at it at the same time.

Bingo!

foremost is what I need to learn, then comes what I want to learn, and if I still need something, something that will be easy to learn. I put extra effort into the second category though if unfavorable circumstances arise.

Both are equally important, I think. If you don't pick subjects you're good at, you'll do badly and not set yourself up well for the future. If you don't pick subjects you like, you'll have a rotten time at school. Of course, like Maxx said, subjects that are both are the best.

Why not all three at once
