Do what you like, or something you don't really like but has a better return? Options

Hi guys! I was just wondering, based on personal opinions, do you agree with the advice people usually give you that you should study what you are passionate about in post-secondary as opposed to something that you don't really like, but will give you a better economic return in the end? Especially with the economic turmoil going on in North America, would it worth the risk to give up a good program in say, business for something you find more interest in like humanities which is less likely to get you a job?

Well I guess I'm one of those people who didn't take that advice and went for the job that would make me money. I'm going to school for Business right now, which is what my parents and sister encouraged me to go into. I originally wanted to major in Psychology or Education because those are subjects I'm actually really interested in...

I'm now thinking of doing a joint major in Business and Psychology, though...
