I've always been more personally inclined to the social sciences - how people work and interact with each other. It always seemed to me that there's less red tape and formal background necessary to do interesting and practical work in social sciences. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that damn near everything we do of value relies on hard science. If you had me pick one post-agriculture profession to be my only formal profession in the world, it'd have to be engineering. Engineering creates tools that greatly expand the ability of everyone else to do what they're doing. And yet, without physics and chemistry, we're not engineering damn near anything of value. Behavioral and social sciences have made such huge leaps due to increased communication, mobility, and processing and storing of information. All that can be credited to some damn amazing engineers, who all needed math and hard science to build what they did. It makes me remember from time to time, that though I'm not a hard scientist and will likely never more than dabble in it, it's pretty damn amazing stuff, and ought to be regularly given a nod of appreciation to its amazingness.
