Unlike traditional degrees or pathways like studying to become a doctor or scientist. You don't really need a degree to have a creative career in certain fields. Creative fields like graphic design you might need a bachelor's degree if you want to work for a firm. Otherwise, you can pursue your passion all you need is heart and a truly amazing portfolio. Going to college is great for making connections and if you really want to go I suggest major in something else that also interests you. Why? It's due to the fact that most creative degrees are useless to the workplace. There are so many jobless graduates with degrees in film, fine art, photography, and etc.
I would suggest finding something else you are interested in to major in. The number one major I would say is some form of business because as a creative person you will need to understand business in order to survive as a freelancer. You can still minor in the field you want to go into if it's creative. Unless you are trying to be an architect, then I suggest you major in Architecture with a minor in business. An architecture teacher once told me that all the architects who end up losing their business is because they don't know a single damn thing about business.
