I've got to live on science alone

Right now I'm doing my first year in undergraduate science and I'm loving it as much as one man can love science. But I'm completely stumped as to what I should major. Physics is out of the question, as well as mathematical and computer sciences.

Perhaps some scientists could share and discuss what they think about certain fields.

Yeah, I took o chem 1 and 2 and synthetic organic chemistry at a school ranked top 5 in organic chemistry. If you call remembering that a nucleophile attacks a carbonyl group "memorization," then yeah, but that's like saying that climbing a tree requires a lot of memorization because you have to remember how to grasp things with your hands.

Reactions in organic chemistry are ruled by the physical properties of the reagents. The only places where you have to memorize are things whose mechanism isn't understood, like with a lot of catalysts and a good portion of name reactions.

Anyone who calls o chem "a lot of memorization" learned it the wrong way and probably didn't do very well in the class.
