So I currently go to a community college called Foothill in Silicon Valley and am doing something called a TAG that will give me guaranteed admission to UC Davis as long as I keep my GPA above 3.3 (I know, I'm surprised it's so low too) and do my required courses. I always planned on doing this, but purely for the sake of making money (I guess it would be a little nice working in the tech industry though and being able to possible bring an idea for an app or website to life if I ever have a good one). But I don't enjoy Computer Science much (so far I've taken C++ and Python, no engineering courses yet). I'll also still have two to three years here in hard courses if I stick with it.
But the thing is I have always loved Economics and would much rather pursue an education in that if I could still live a good life. I would also actually be able to transfer this year. I'm fine with getting a PHD if needed, same goes for going to law school (I love that sort of thing as well). But the main thing I'm worried about (and my Dad who is attacking me nonstop for even considering this desicion and trying to bully me out of it is too, obviously more than I am) is if I'll struggle to find a job (especially one that pays well like at least makes six figures). Anyone have any advice? It would be really appreciated.
P.S. This isn't as important but I'd like to go to UCLA later on if possible and/or work in LA. I'd like to possibly pursue being a YouTuber/Voice Actor on the side and that's basically the hub where they all are. It definitely looks as this may be a possibility soon too since my channel is becoming really popular really fast and I've been getting lots of jobs online as a voice actor. Anyway as said, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
