Although I don't entirely agree with the last sentence due to many colleges in North America having their humanities degree plagued with sociology, you should head to this kind of degree. You wont have a lot of time to write—don't think it's “over” after four years of STEM, you'll still have to work for your comfortable position—and you might end up realizing earning 85,000$ a year over 45,000$ doesn't matter that much. Personally, I earnt a bachelor in mathematics before I got enrolled in a finance intership at Deloitte to finally get a middle-level position in the pricing department. I can travel, buy a nice house and neat books yet I can't help but think I should have gone for an English degree. Yes, you won't live the “Wall Street life”—I don't and note you probably won't wherever you major in—and may have to struggle a bit but you'll learn a lot—disregard the fools who say you can study on your own, nothing is as motivating as the academia—and you will meet cultured people who share your interest. I don't have to explain you how hard is it to find such a person. You could be a critic—writing on the others, is that really a dead-end job to your eyes?—or working in a publishing house—a lot of editors are freakingly well-read—or even teaching, which isn't that bad, especially if you can make it to a private school/college. The so-called dead-end of humanities is a lie, by the way, you can have a very nice position as long as you're in the top, which isn't really hard if you give two damn about your future. I went to a conference wherein the main speaker had an amazing career despite he was poor, spent three years in prison then graduated in philosophy.
