+1 OP doesn't have family money.  I was the same.   US colleges require you to take gened classes. You can study humanities and STEM in those classes.

Anyone  would love to find that unicorn where you are passionate about something and make a good living from it, but for most of us, that's not reality.

You can also minor in something that you are more passionate about, but for most of us, college is a stepping stone to get a good paying job.

That doesn't mean you should major in something that you loathe, but for those of us without any family money (and who knows what it's like to be poor), college is about setting yourself up to get a good paying job.[/quote]

Humanities majors are pretty much useless these days except for some front facing or service jobs. You can use AI to learn better (and more), with whichever political leaning or new age theory you want. No need to spend money to pay the salaries of professors in oversaturated fields.[/quote]
