My parents made me study business management instead of literature. My life has been much more boring and unfulfilling as a result, because the jobs I can apply for don't interest me, and the jobs I want demand qualifications I lack. In my personal experience, working in your passion beats working for the money.

How sure are you what your life would have been like if you had studied literature instead?
