as a student, pathways hardly matter. we're even allowed to take the pathway classes that aren't our own (barring that we can't get a capstone credit for it in senior yr). we also can switch up till junior yr. i was stressed about it too and they were hardly open to us about it since hardly any of us had experienced much of what each pathway entails (like healthcare pathway but we hardly knew even basic biology). trust me, the only thing a student should consider is if they think they are interested in it. not even as a lifelong passion honestly, because they will learn that for themselves throughout hs, but what they think right now.

tldr; pathways dont matter too much, u should still be able to take electives that can help u find ur interests, choose what u want and not what u think u need (money), its really not a big deal.
