BS in Chemistry or Mathematics...?

I'm done with my A Levels with Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Maths. So I can go for either medical or engineering as well, I'll be giving MCAT next year to avail for medical as well but in the meantime, I don't want to waste my time and get enrolled in university.
I have opted for GCU and the options I have are: BS in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Botany or Zoology. Botany and Zoology are not my thing, and with Physics, I think it'd be better to do engineering rather than BS in Physics, but after engineering, there is no scope in Pakistan. There are thousands of unemployed engineers all around the country and I'm afraid to be one of them, also my opted university is not offering engineering.
So it leaves me to BS in Chemistry or Mathematics, my question is which one would be better considering future choices. If I go with Chemistry, what's the scope other than lectureship or teaching?
And with Mathematics, my choices will narrow down since there will be nothing after that other than lectureship but is it worth it?

I am not a counselor or even a Pakistani citizen, so I don't exactly know how MCAT is applied, what I want you to know though, choose what you are most comforted with, are easy in doing tons of math problems daily, or are better at 2 or 3 hours of lab session

It is more of convention, and as a matter of job, chemist has opportunities in industry, though I doubt mathematician has any

don't take my advice as real, I am still a cie student and you are even older than me (lol)
but even then I would like to advise

Regards

Opinion is an opinion whether coming from a younger person or older, so I appreciate it.
But still I want to know like what kind of opportunities are there after Chemistry?
like in field?

Hello :)
Dont be afraid coz others ain't gettin any jobs. Many of dem just dont get jobs coz dey are least interested in engineering dey just do to get a degree xD
I would suggest u to do what u got interest in :)
Let it be anything it's just dat u should love it. If u love engineering den go for it :)

Well for math, https://www.truity.com/career-profile/mathematician
For chemistry, https://www.prospects.ac.uk/careers-advice/what-can-i-do-with-my-degree/chemistry

good luck :)
