Should I stick with an Economics major?

I am an Economics major but I find it really boring and my grades reflect this. Should I declare another major? I heard Economics degree offers higher paying jobs than Political Science (which is my other major, that I make excellent grades in). I don’t know what I should do?

As a rule of thumb, you should only study what you like. An Economics degree might offer higher paying jobs, but don’t let that discourage you from choosing what you actually enjoy! Would you like to spend twenty years at a job you really disliked only because it pays the bills? That’s no way to enjoy your professional career. If your grades are suffering because you don’t enjoy Econ then you shouldn’t think it twice, switch to a Political Science major. Also, if you have fulfilled enough Econ requirements so far, you could get a minor in Econ.

Don’t worry about the money right now. Think about your future sanity!
