Yeah, my girlfriend's sister majored in anthropology and now she's a fashion stylist. What I'd recommend is this: decide what yr ideal line of work would be (you mentioned screen writer). Do all of the research you can on the subject, try to see what you can contribute to the industry in general. While yr in school for a whatever degree (something that can make you money, which really is any college degree), and spend yr spare time developing skills in something you enjoy. College will teach you how to put up with the bullshit that yr going to have to deal with in everyday life, and how to convince others that yr worth spending money on. At the end of college you'll have a good idea of how to make money doing what you want to do, and whether or not yr capable of doing it. If you can't, you'll at least have a piece of paper that tells fortune 500 companys that yr willing to spend the time figuring out how to function inside a particular system/authority structure, and you'll have a better chance of making 50 thousand dollars or more a year doing something you hate than someone who hasn't gone through college, who will make half that doing something they hate. To sum it up: learn how to enjoy yrself, learn how to make money, and try to unite the two. If you can't, at least you'll have both of them covered.
