PT/ HSS concerns? advice needed

Hi I was offered PT and I’m a recent poly grad from a non science course and I can’t help feel a bit conflicted in my uni choices. I either continue with what I was previously studying in poly - [“easier” because of prior knowledge, at least I have some idea of concepts/ stuff being taught etc] or I take up PT - somewhat uncharted territory

I have concerns that because I already lack a certain level of science, I may struggle even more compared to the incoming students who come from JC or have done science related diplomas.

Are there any PT/ HSS students/ alumni that have any advice? [whether you come from a similar situation from me (non science bg) or not ]
I would love some insights as to how you decided that this course was for you, how you coped with the content, what I should expect if I decide to continue on this PT route etc.
If you think I should not take PT please share why too! I am open to all perspectives :)

Extra info:
I have very basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics etc…as I did take up sports science in secondary school (although I didn’t do well and this was also 5 years ago😐….I have been rereading my notes lately tho)

I am okay 🫤 with continuing what I have already completed studying in poly, but I’m not sure if I can see myself staying in the industry for long at all which is why I am having a hard time picking. I always think the grass is greener on the other side so I really am trying to weigh pros and cons here.
Doesn’t help that my mom is already telling people that I am heavily considering/ am going into physio already, I feel immense pressure to choose well because I had many regrets of not choosing my poly course well in the beginning
