For a long time I was very happy with my choice of environmental science, and I had some pretty good jobs,, but now I don't think I'd recommend it without a backup option. Most of the sciences are terrible for money and job security, especially in the university sector. Grants are a blood sport and you get at best 3 years security, if you're lucky. As a research assistant you get whipped like you're at a BDSM club while the academics take all the credit. I don't mean to sound like pay and conditions are everything, but if you can't make a living then you can't support others or give back in other ways.
I'd probably recommend programming/data science or psychology as fields that are interesting and engaging but have fantastic career prospects. I'd do programming hands down.
