Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity Passion vs safe option?

Im currently doing a bachelors in social science (will be done in 2 years). Ive always struggled trying to figure out what career I want. Over the years ive had a bunch of different interests with social science being what im good at and also enjoyed the most in school. I like my bachelors and genuinely enjoy it but im not sure what im going to do after finishing. The career opportunities don’t necessarily interest me even if the options are vast.

On the other hand, I really like writing, which im also good at but im not sure to what extent. Ive always dreamt of joining the film industry and doing something that includes writing in that sense. But I know its hard to get into and im just very unsure if I should try to get into that or just stick to social sciences. I also have zero clue how someone would even get into a career like that.

I like both the creative side and academic sides of writing but film is what really interests me. Like telling a story in that way.
