Philosophy or not philosophy

So basically I original was accepted into my firm uni for nursing, however after futher consideration and yk with how the nhs is I just felt I could not go through with the degree

so I have since internally transferred to do BA philosophy, psychology and scientific thought

and honestly I think this degree is like the coolest thing on the planet

however with the recent news of how philosophy is like a negative earning degree and how the government is cracking down on such degrees- I'm really scared honestly

When I was younger I always thought uni was for academics or people who wanted very specific careers (like surgeons) but now it just seems that everyone has to get a degree and that degree must be worth while (meaning it must not be a humanities)

tbh I have always been more STEM subject leaning but I have always had a passion with humanities

essentially I guess I'm just worried about my future- I want to do something I enjoy more than anything and I honestly really want to refuse doing a degree cause it would earn me more money

but I know that I'd be a mess if I did not earn a decent amount of money (to me thats around 30K)

So essentially I need some advice- also idk if it makes a difference but my uni is like fairly good like I think its around 12th in the uk for philosophy and its top 5 for nursing

I've gen spent my entire day asking if it's better to speak or to die and honestly my lines are getting blurred- I just want to enjoy life dude

I hate that we live in a society that does not value passion and I hate that everything has to have a price to it
