"How do I keep my passion for philosophy and literature alive while studying a science subject I didn't choose?"

I read classical literature, philosophy, social science, psychology, cultural studies, fine art, zoology ( ornithology , ecology, entomology) passionately. I love to do this all the day...

Now there's very few Career opportunities in these fields, my parents want i build my Career in physics or microbiology ( their first choice was medical, but I never liked that Field.). It is not that I don'tnt like to read physics or microbiology, but I love their philosophical aspects and views... But academic syllsbus is more mechanical that that joy of knowledge.

Will i get enough time to read philosophy thesis, serious classical novels or my other passion in my graduation and further life... Or the competition, exam pressure , job market will destroy my passion?

Only depending on research line in zoology or English literature is risky for a student like me, belonging froma middle class family.

What should I do now.

India,WB.
