Being a midwife is a job that requires you to be available 24/7, i’d think about it if your the type who prioritises their sleep. just imagine someone calling you and saying “I think I am having a baby “ at 3:am 
ill be like “ Cool story, call me when you deliver”…

Stay in UK or work in the middle east .
I took econ, and now I'm making bank as a logistics manager with all my debts paid.
Take a challenging degree that has a good ROI. If your degree is of the liberal arts, and you don't intend on staying in academia, you are literally wasting money.
If the hard sciences are too hard, basically STEM, then go for a professional degree.
Finance, Accounting, Economics, and Statistics are good enough.
If you take this route, be proficient in a programming language and stats.
If you can't handle either a STEM degree or a Professional degree, and will not stay in academia, don't go to uni. Go somewhere else. You are literally setting yourself up as a debt slave if you don't.
I'm free. And that's the best feeling you can have.

That's the sunk cost fallacy. I was literally three years into chemistry, and switched to economics instead because of the job market. Make sound decisions with logic, not decisions that appeal to emotions fam.
Unlovable?

Lots of jobs abroad and positions require a bachelors degree. You can be qualified all you want they will not speak to you.
Without a degree or a qualification that is equivalent to a degree, you really are freezed out of the international job market. Hence why, I do think that telling people a degree is useless, unless it's stem is bad advice. There are many jobs that want a degree as an entry requirement, despite the fact that you will be trained on the job or expected to take a specific extra course, however the fact remains, they still want a degree even though you might feel that a degree is 'useless'.
I think it all depends on the degree you are aiming for. It is helpful if you go for something you are (remotely) interested in and also provides a good enough opportunity to be gainfully employed in a field you enjoy.
Liberal arts have their merit too. Not only are you enhancing your critical thinking skills and building a solid foundation, but you can also carve out a lucrative niche for yourself if you have a realistic vision.
We are the children of immigrants and having a degree to your name can definitely help, and as was previously said you can profit from networking with former classmates, faculty and corporations (internships etc.).
Even in certain STEM fields you could be down on your luck and have a hard finding employment.
That said, again, we are the children of immigrants and because of that we should ideally go for a degree, which guarantees a good pay check, so that our children can be established and free to pursue their interests/passion.
As of now the fields listed by @TheManWhoIsAlive (STEM, finance, I would add law) for the most part seem like solid guarantors for (self-)employability.
Of course learning a trade or going into an apprenticeship is a solid choice as well and you earn money while in training.
Regarding midwifery (3 or 4 year):
I have no idea about the UK system and if you see your future there, but if cost is no concern I would go for the degree which opens the most doors for you e.g. if you choose to relocate.
In terms of the actual studying:
Don't believe the hype. Uni isn't all that if you are self-motivated, have good time management and willing to work smart.
Don't be too afraid of the work-load, don't be too lax either. Students with better, same or worse qualifications went before you and they too got their degrees.
Absolutely everything is doable if you put your mind and effort to it.

thats terrible, but incredibly based and hilarious none the less.
I hate school smh. Uni is so useless because when I go to interviews they ask is for complete different shit and also my friends all got trained on the job so what was the point really. There’s some people who work with my friend who did some courses on Coursera then did internships and make more than her now and she’s a uni graduate. Life is so hard man ...I wish Mr Siyad Barre didn’t f*ck it up for all of us cuz by now I’d be in bed with a rich Somali Oil Sheikh instead of trying to pass my uni classes
