Science vs commerce when marks support both but interest is mixed

The child likes economics, maths and computers but does not have a fixed career goal. We are trying to avoid choosing science only because it 'keeps options open'. What exploration helped your family make the stream decision with less fear?

    The counsellor was useful only when the session connected interests to concrete courses and next steps. The aptitude report by itself added very little. We are in Chennai and this came up for us last year.

We revisited the plan after a few months instead of treating it as irreversible. In our house, the practical routine mattered more than the ideal plan.
