It not’s such an easy question to answer!
At school, I couldn’t study everything that I wanted to. I enjoyed languages, and science, but I think that I always felt that I was more of a physical scientist, and geology was what I wanted to study later. So I stopped studying biology, and continued with physics and chemistry (and languages..).
Later on at school, chemistry was the science I enjoyed more: it just seemed to me to fit together, and to make sense. And I could link it to my passion for geology. Some parts of physics terrified me, and still do. Like electricity.. At university, I got to keep studying physics and chemistry as well as geology, at least for a year. Physics was nothing like the physics at school – and I learnt a lot about how to think about problems using maths. This was a great learning experience, but I still wasn’t very good at it – and it was the chemistry (and geology) that I kept on with.
If I was at school now, though, things might well have been different: modern biology (genetics, etc) is nothing like the biology I was taught at school, and I would have loved to have had the chance to study this. And of course, in my work now I use parts of all of these subjects in the things that I do!

I prefer Chemistry because I think it is the most wide ranging and I like the way the theory and practise is combined. All are very important though and all our technology is based on the understanding of one or more of these subjects.
