Take science – it has more scope.
We’ve all heard this generic advice. But here’s what no one tells you: In an AI-dominated world, science isn’t just a stream – it’s the only education that makes you irreplaceable.
Stay Tuned!
1. The Job Market Secret They Don’t Teach You
While commerce students chase limited CA/CS seats and arts students fight for media jobs, science offers:
- 300% more career options than any other stream (NSDC India 2023 report)
- AI-proof careers like genetic engineering and quantum computing
- Global opportunities with 60% higher starting salaries (Naukri.com data)

2. Science = Supercharged Problem-Solving Skills
What you actually gain:
✔ Data detective skills to spot fake news (thanks, Physics practicals)
✔ Emergency thinking (Chemistry lab accidents teach crisis management)
✔ Money skills (Biostatistics > Commerce accountancy)
3. The Flexibility Mythbuster
| Scenario | Science Student | Commerce student |
| At 25 | Can do MBA, Law, Design | Can’t switch to Medicine |
| At 30 | Leading tech startups | Still clearing CA exams |
| At 40 | NASA researcher | Typical bank manager |
Arts gives creativity, Commerce gives stability – but Science gives both plus exponential growth.

4. Real-World Impact You Can Touch
- Fix climate change (Environmental Science)
- Develop India’s own GPS (Space Technology)
- Create drought-resistant crops (Agricultural Science)
5. The Hidden Financial Advantage
6 Months after degree:
- Science: ₹5-12 LPA (CSE, Pharma, Data Science)
- Commerce: ₹3-5 LPA (CA articleship excluded)
- Arts: ₹2.5-4 LPA
10-year earning potential: 2-3x higher in STEM fields.
Who Should Actually Take Science?
✅ If you enjoy “Why?” more than “What?”
✅ If you want options beyond 9-5 jobs
✅ If you dream of work that changes lives
Not For You If: You want easy memorization-based exams.
