I was given this advice when I graduated and even battled to be able to do it. Nowadays, I have mixed feelings about it. We have to choose general fields before starting high school, and now I really regret not going into the sciences. I see so many ads for tech-related jobs and my sciency friends have been able to get a wider range of work related to their field than I can ever hope to. The worst part is that I wasn't even bad at it, I just didn't care as much as I cared about literature or history.
I don't regret studying something that I wanted to learn more about, but it's also not something I'd recommend to anyone who isn't 100% certain of what they want to do.
Then again, maybe I'm just jaded by how unemployable I am and living in a country struggling with debt-related problems.
