What type of engineering major has the most opportunities outside of it specific major in the real world?
I'm still unsure on what engineering major to pursue because all of them sounds genuinely interesting to me. I really enjoy the subject of math, biology, and chemistry. So I'm leaning more towards pursuing a career of biochemical engineering but I'm concerned about the possible negative effects that AI will bring to the industry. I know that I want to do engineering because of the heavy amount of math that's involved. But I also want to know what type of engineering has the most job security and will allow me to pursue the most number of careers. Especially in the time of AI and the possibility of AI replacing humans in engineering positions.

What part about being a biochemist is most fulfilling, and why do you say that?
I am a high school senior. I have earned a cumulative 4.0 unweighted GPA and a 4.38 weighted GPA, and have worked very hard in school to achieve straight A's throughout the entirety of my high school career. I am interested in the natural sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, etc.. I would like to learn about different specializations in the aforementioned science fields, when specializing became important in school, and how you were able to pick a specialization (because there are just so many). I need to know how much should be apparent now about college, what I should prepare myself for, and what I will find out later on.
As a high school student from Bangladesh, how do I know what is the right major for me when I've barely been exposed to any?
I'm a 10th grader, highly interested in Computer Science and technology. I was interested in creating sustainable and environment friendly tech. But, I can't seem to figure out if it's the right choice for me, especially in the current world where automation is threatening to replace many jobs related to this major. And looking at my other academic interests, which mostly includes STEM(minus medicine), I'm having a hard time understanding what I should choose. Engineering? But what type of engineering? Biology? Both my parents graduated from biology background so it has always fascinated but then again, what exactly? My parents do jobs that are totally different from their field of study now, so I've never really known what it's like to be STEM major or a STEM professional. I thought CS was it for me, but dreams aren't enough. As someone with a middle class background, I have to take into consideration scope, jobs, and pay too.
