A word of caution regarding pharmacy. If you're in the U.S. (disregard if you're not) the number of jobs for pharmacists is growing as a much slower rate than the number of graduated produced per year. This makes prior experience critical. Shadow a pharmacist or work as a pharmacy technician!

The fuck is hard to understand about not "math heavy" or "science heavy" implied to you that OP felt intro-level Calculus was too heavy?

Law or philosophy are the best majors that don't include any math or science.

Because they both require you to learn some form of logic. Not as good as pure math/scientific logic reapplied to the fields, but better than nothing.

That depends on what your real interests are and how involved with them you are. I'm interested in traveling around the world and fucking 10s, but this isn't a career field so the best thing for me to do is make money in something that allows me to travel a lot and do so. Maybe you're interested in comforting people's feelings. Maybe you want to get a degree in psychology. Maybe you want to really analyze your life before taking the college debt plunge.

Bachelor of science with a double major of physics and chemistry or Bachelor of science as a physics major and a Bachelor of engineering with an electrical engineering major.
