Everything depends on the desires and potential that exist within oneself.
As the OP said, we have the same opportunity to be able to advise/give advice to others on things that are worth learning.
STEM courses are also very good and there are many choices that can be taken according to your desires and abilities, but my advice is that the difficult thing to find is your potential, so it is important to explore this first.
Of course, that goes without saying that you should go for what you like to do and not what the others tell you to take but I'm giving OP at the least the knowledge that STEM will always be a big industry because innovation in technology doesn't stop because it's parallel with the progress of humanity after all. It's important to explore but there should come a time that OP needs to decide what path to take.
The course you will take in your studies is not the basis for moving up in life, but you are right, the STEM strand is also good, especially if the career path you want to take is more on innovation, programming and mathematics, Especially now that almost everyone is in the digital and marketing world, jobs related to the strand you suggested to OP are in deman, but as you said, the decision is still OP's, it's better for him to get advice from other people, but he needs to weigh what course he really wants to take.
