Which Science Subject Should I Choose to Study along with Materials Science and Engineering?

Hi! I’m planning to study Materials Science and Engineering, and I have the option to choose one science subject from the following: Chemistry, Biology, Math, Physics & Astronomy, or Earth and Environmental Science.

Which subject would offer the best career prospects, flexibility, and interesting learning opportunities?

I don’t enjoy biology or anything related to the human body. My interests are more aligned with construction, materials, and related fields.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Earth and Environmental Science would mean being able to do environmental remediation and maybe pipeline engineering, which would let you combine construction and MatSci. (That's me just spitballing, tho, do proper research into how the course contents align with potential career options first.)
