Economics degree or chemical engineering degree?

I am currently in year 13 and deadlines are coming up soon my a levels are chemistry, maths and economics. I sometimes struggle to do as well as others in the chemistry and maths to get the same grades as others i have to do double the work, my predicted grades are AAA but I think i can get an A*AA, my main goals in life are money maximisations and happiness i am only considering a chemical engineering degree for the money i am not particularly interested in the content and the jobs it has to hold but if that is where the money is then i will put in the work. I will work hard in both degrees which one has more job prospects with higher salaries? I also wouldn’t mind moving out of the uk to Canada and other places etc. Please help time is limited and personal statement hasn’t been started

If you struggle with A level maths and chemistry, then you may struggle even more in a chemical engineering degree.
