I am glad that we share the same view. There is no problem for your kid to have diversified interests at this stage. Before Grade 11, my son had very strong performance in science subjects. As a parent, I did hope that he would consider medicine in his study (although I did not mention my hope to him). Although he took Physics in Grade 11, he took another 2 humanity subjects - i.e. Economics and History. He managed to obtain A at the end of the school year. At the time of making his applications to college (in Grade 12), he told me that his interest was in history and philosophy. I did not interfere with him his choice but I explained to him that law is quite similar to history and philosophy and he might consider law in his application. At the end of the day, he chose to study law.

His public examination result was high enough to study medicine but I felt relieved that I did not press him to take medicine. If his interest was not in medicine, he could not do the subject well in college.

This is exactly my view expressed.

Your observations are valid to my son's case.
He is G11 and his final exam should meet expectation, first choice still medicine, second may be BBA - Law or Law. LSE Economics as backup plan.

兒子希望大學讀econ，甚至做學者，不過最大志向係流行音樂。天南地北!由得佢自由發揮。

Economic is a good subject, you may aware most top Economic Schools need Maths HL or GCE AL Further Maths.

For the purpose of developing his full potential, if you can afford, you may encourage him to study in a US college where he would have the freedom to explore and focus on the subjects he is interested the most.
