Chemistry or Banking?

Hello fellow redditors, I'm at a dilemma. Right now, I'm studying accounting at university and honestly, I do not enjoy what I'm studying AT ALL. I'm doing quite terribly for my accounting modules even though I spent weeks practicing and studying. But I'm told by my parents that though accounting isn't really my thing, I can venture into banking and finance in the later years and so I should stay in my course. (Accounting is an iron rice bowl..) However, I do also have a strong passion in chemistry and am thinking whether to change course to Chemical Engineering/Chemistry/Applied Chemistry in my next semester. This will set me back a year, but what's a year compared to the rest of my life? I sure as hell don't want to spend my time at a big auditing firm, toiling away to prepare a financial report, where I curse my life over and over if the numbers don't match. I thought I could do accounting in the past but I fear now, it will ruin my life in the future. I am also afraid of making a mistake when tranferring to Chemistry because of the less stable job climate than accountants. So Accountants, Scientists, Engineers of Reddit, can I have your advice? Thank you.
