Need some help figuring out what to do for a career

So I am not really sure what I want to do after college. I have taken a gap year and will be attending college next year in the San Fransisco/bay area and don't really know what I am going to do. It's really some scary ass shit. I have wanted to be a filmmaker since I was like in the 7th grade, however, this past year and a half I have started to wonder if that's what I really want to do. I think I was afraid to admit I might not want to do that for a career because I have been telling everyone that's what I was gonna do. I really would love to become an activist for reforming marijuana laws in america because it's bigger then myself. I mean I wouldn't just be fighting for my right to smoke but everyone else's. I think now would be a great time to become an activist cause there has been a lot of progress. I mean with all the states coming around and realizing the benefits of MJ as far as medicine. The problem is I have no idea of how you would survive doing something like that. I mean would love to do that for the rest of my life, it's a real passion. It almost always comes up in conversations that I have with people I have just met. So can of you pubbers point my is the right direction or let me hear some of your advice.
God I wish I was this age in 65

Yeah I can't wait till I get out to SF. I was raised in the south bay till I was like 7 and loved it. I really hope SF is as great as it was back in the 60's. Time will only tell.

Well, your title specifically asked for advice on a career and since you don't really get paid to be an activist, that's out of the question. Not that activism should be out of your life entirely if that's what you want to do. I'd just worry about getting a job first, then bitch to the government about weed.

no, no, Oaksterdam U isnt an activist school. Its a cannabis college training people for JOBS in the medical cannabis industry.

Anyone ever attend oaksterdam? How is the job market for medical cannabis industry? I know that a shit load of dispensaries have been opening up all over Cali in the past few years but is there a real demand for more workers?

If you really want to be in a position where you can make a difference through some sort of "activism" go to law school.

union plumbers in california get full medical benefits and around 80$/hr depending on the county you work in
super mario status, eating mushrooms and plumbing pipes.

Get an MBA or a J.D. They're both very diverse/flexible degrees that will serve you well into today's job market.

yes, the world needs more attorneys.
I'd go healthcare. I am actually considering back to school to get a Physician Assistant degree - specializing in Orthopedics.
