Do you feel that you've lost your "passion" for creative arts if you pursue an art major?

Is there an “easy way” to decide between two majors?
I’m currently a high school senior headed out the door to college this fall. I thought I was set on Marine Biology for my major and everyone has been pushing me towards it as well, but my passion in Art and animation grew more and I’ve noticed that I am more interested in Art than I am in Marine Biology. I found a college that I can have a major or minor in either Marine Biology or Art and they did inform me that it was easy to switch majors/minors at any time. I still come back and ask myself which one I would choose, but I’m still tied between the two. Is there an “easy way” (or as easy as possible) to decide between the two majors? If you have any advice at all, please let me know.

Where should I go to college and set up my life as a concept artist ?
I know somewhere like LA or New York may have the best opportunities to make it as an artist, but not only are they expensive, they are crowded, smoggy, has pretty sparse nature, and overall not what I'm used to as a Texas resident in a small town. Are there any less crowded more nature filled areas that also have a lot of artists and animators to network with and ideally a reputable college for artists nearby.

With being an Studio Art major, is important is it for me to have this major when my dream career is being an Veterinarian?
The reason I ask this is that I came to College as Undeclared and had different choices in mind. My mind was always set on being an Veterinarian but I had other majors in mind doing like art, psychology, and criminology. When doing art class, I fell in love with the different mediums and was thinking about doing a small business. I declared my major in studio arts and minor in biology. I'm not sure if this would clear my career path and will gain the necessary skills and experience to pursue in my dream career outside my major course.

What is the best option?
I think I've decided I want to do some form of art with my life; leaning more towards theatre. My options in my mind right now are 1) go to a community college and pursue theatre education. Become a drama teacher 2) go to a close-ish college and pursue fine arts education; become an art teacher 3) go to AMDA (on the other side of the country) and try for Broadway or some other Performance arts place I would love to do AMDA, but I'm worried it won't be worth it. It's so far away, but I would be happy. The art college is closer, meaning it would cost less, and I'd still be happy. Theatre and art are what have gotten me this far in life. They are what have made me happy and brought me out of my shell of anxiety.
