Is it worth studying bioinformatics?

Sup, /sci/. I'm currently enrolled in Math&CS bachelor in my country, and next semester I'll have a chance to enroll into one of non-uni programs provided by local institutions - one in theoretical CS/Data Science and one in bionformatics. Both of these programs require you to attend classes in evening once or twice a week and do a lot of homework.They both require you to take entrance exams tho and bioinformatics one is easier to pass, so if I fail to enroll into the CS program I will surely go with bioinformatics.

The thing is, if I succeed in both exams, I will definitely go with the CS one, but I'm also allowed to do both programs in parallel. Is it worth it to waste a chunk of my time studying biology and math models/algorithms related to it?
