I have a very good friend who majored in film. She learned editing along with numerous other skills. She now works in production for a Showtime show in NYC.
If you are motivated and good at making connections, there are a lot of opportunities in film & numerous career types. You can start out entry level without a degree. The major industry hubs are Atlanta, LA, and NYC. I'd recommend starting a LinkedIn & connecting with people who are in roles you're interested in, asking them how they got their, looking at their background skills & education & seeing if you can find anything that draws your attention.
It's ok to not have everything figured out now. It took me a LONG time to figure out what I wanted to do in life because there are so many careers & opportunities out there beyond the traditional high level roles we hear a lot about. It's important to pursue things that interest you, otherwise work is likely to be a fairly miserable experience. If you care deeply about the work you're doing, it makes all the difference in the world. Connecting with people to learn more about the roles/jobs that sound interesting is a great first step to figuring out what you might like.
I wish you the best of luck!

Hi,
It depends on what you are looking to do. There are many different paths you could take from production, art, directing, writing, acting, special effects and so much more. What do you like about watching movies? Watch a few and evaluate what gives you joy and see if there are ways to experience that career through an internship or people in your network that you can talk to.

It's ok to have interests in many things! Just keep trying new things and opening new doors. As you get older, the picture will become clearer. Hang in there!
