Lol i was the opposite.
I legit picked 90% HSIE/Tech subjects and had to sack most of em and had to beg to get into X1.
Unironically the subjects I ended up liking were the "asian 5" replacing chem with eco but yeah it was more of something i was drawn to rather than bc of atar.
If u genuinely feel that you can go monster with a subject thats not normally recommended e.g business studies then go ahead. You're foolish if you think you can just get by chem/phys/mx2 or any other "hard subject" with 0 motivation or interest without burning out.
