Electronics is far more interesting and exciting, especially as technology advances. Designing PCBs is a demanding yet satisfying area of work, with job opportunities everywhere and a solid level of pay. If you like looking at lots of cables, then go electrical; if you like sitting behind a computer and playing around with components on a little green board then go electronic.
So maybe look into the various jobs you can get for both of them (actual on-line job ads), then try to picture which of those you would be happiest spending your life doing. It would be hard to be a full-time electronic engineer if your heart isn't really in it. The role can be quite stressful. However, if you study somewhere particularly good, you might even be able to create your own product together with an MCAD guy and sell it.
okay to make it clear. i really do like electronics because i can do lots of things with it while also enjoying. the reason why electricity added to my option was it will make my life easy if i go on with it since it is easier than electronics. my only problem with electronics is i dont have faith in myself or i dont have assurance if i can handle the lessons and works in the future since it is more complicated than electricity even though they say that i am good at it. i always finish my projects first and perfect every test related to it. i almost got 100 score in my card and also awarded as best in electronics during my grade 8 and 9. but i am still afraid to take on that course in fear of failing my subjects in college in the future.
ps. i have 2 more years before entering college
i am more familiar with electrical and it is so easy for me to go to college with that course but electronics is far more advance than electrical, even though i am interested in it i am a little bit afraid to take it for reason that i dont have assurance that i can go on with that course. but a lot of people say that i should go with electronics cause if i dont. i would be wasting my skill related to it.
