Other people can help you lay out your options, and may try to talk you into a decision, but what you want is what's most important. Going back to the example from the first reason about which class you would take, I would take physics. College is the time to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life, and taking chemistry may help you make more money in the long run, but the amount of money you make is just a number if you don't enjoy what you're doing. If you know that you like physics much more than chemistry, then why waste your precious time with a class you don't even want to be in? That makes no sense. Make decisions for yourself, and your benefit when it comes to your career.
