For any STEM-related disciplines, Calculus is a critical door opener. In fact, mathematical skills are beneficial for many other disciplines too. It broadens your mind and trains you in analytical skills.
On the other hand, if you are planning to develop your career in non-STEM areas, AP Statistics would be a reasonable choice. It is still an analytical course to train you to look at data in a meaningful way: data collection, data visualization, and data analysis for decision making. It is a course that will benefit almost everyone.

If you're aiming for a degree in STEM or Business, taking AP Calculus in high school is a smart move. It helps you start your major classes sooner. If you're interested in Social Sciences or Business, AP Statistics is a great choice. It gives you the important skills you'll need for advanced courses in the future.
