Can't offer specific advice as the two specific options aren't known, however I do think a lot of young people - say, university students and recent graduates - underestimate the importance of financial stability in adult life. Being in low paid work may not seem that much of a big deal when you are young, have no real outgoings, and aren't living an adult lifestyle, but as you progress through your twenties, financial stability and income become viewing as more important because they enable a generally more comfortable adult lifestyle.
exactly this is my dilemma my passion is journalism always has been but so many people tell me it’s not worth it and i don’t have a higher paying career in mind yet but i do feel i should change fields if journalism is so low paying

I didn't know journalism was particularly breadline, though I've never really looked into it.
