History degree, is it worth it?

Hello everyone! I have a very bugging question which doesn't leave my mind...Right now I'm studying Information technology in my country (non-UK) but I'm not feeling that it is the right thing for me. I get high scores and everything but I can't feel passion for it(except for maths and gaming ), thus I would probably be a poor specialist in IT field I don't feel any interest to research more about it or do some extra learning about programming. However, I have always been greatly interested in History. It's just that I received a lot of negative responses from some of my relatives and teachers when I told that want to do a degree in History. You see, in my country it's a very underrated subject, leading only to teaching and museums. That's why I rejected this idea at first. But right know I've got some support and encouragement to take this degree in UK. With my good exams and IELTS results I could get places in universities like Warwick and Durham (these would be my main choices). So, my question is...Would it be worth taking a students' loan and moving to other country to study History? I love Great Britain's culture and history, and I have no problems when it comes to communicating in English. Only one question - Is it worth it? Is it possible to achieve something more with it than just a place on a dusty bench in a museum? I really need various opinions as the deadline is almost here and I'm beginning to loose my marbles because of the enormous stress...I just can't decide
