To be honest I'm not really passionate about economics, but then again I'm not passionate about any subject. Then again I wasn't passionate about the subjects I studied at school and 6th form. However, I worked hard and got good grades.

Overall, I don't think I am that passionate about academic things, although I have always done well academically. Regardless, university is something I want to experience. I am lost in life at the moment, and I have nothing to lose.

I don't want to spend 3 years studying my ass off only to end up with some "Micky Mouse" degree. That's why I want to do something that would be considered valuable by a prospective employer.
If you really not passionate about anything you study, better leave the university...
Isn`t there anything you are really passionate about? like a hobby?

To be successful and happy in life it is NOT necessary to study, a lot of famous and rich people had a bad education but became rich because they had one thing in common: being passionate about what they doing and never give up. Failure is necessary on the way to success and no reason to give up.

Right now I don't have many friends, don't have a girlfriend, and could only get a mediocre job - even with the good qualifications that I have.

So the main reason behind going to university I guess, is because I don't know what the fcuk else to do.
I guess you should ask yourself honestly what it is that you really want to achieve and do in your life and write everything down on a paper. It is important to write it down for yourself to recognize it...
