There's your problem (well, it's not really a problem, but it's clearly an issue) right there.
You've been ruminating on this for ages, and have another two months to go. And in all that time, there hasn't been a path that's been made clear to you.
So what does that tell you?
For me, personally, I've found that once a decision is made, that really takes off the heat. It's not a question of "why" anymore, it becomes questions of "how" and "when."
Sure, economics might not be as exciting as, say, being an astronaut or something, but it has value. But more importantly, you'll create friendships and make connections in those courses that you might not have otherwise. And it's through those friendships and connections that you may very well find your true calling.
I heard a fellow on the radio this morning who got a degree in philosophy and is now an executive chef at a very swanky, 5-star place in Toronto. He made a connection in one of his philosophy classes that eventually put him onto becoming a chef, and now he's one of the top chefs in the country.
His work has nothing to do with philosophy ("life is an onion ring" perhaps), but if he hadn't taken that course he wouldn't have made the connection.
