Which Would Benefit More
Hello, I am an eighteen year old female and am about to start my second semester in freshman year at college. The college I'm at specializes mostly in science and mathematics area - specially engineering. I started out in Geology during the first semester to see if science was TRULY where my strength laid, but I'm definitely more of an artsy person. Therefore I changed to English as a degree. I don't really know what I wish for my career to be... because I have a lot of things I like. In this college there isn't that much interest in arts, but out of the few degrees that do relate to something I like I have English and Plastic Arts. I don't know which one to pick (and I've been told that a double bachelor's is not really that beneficial regarding when it comes to getting a job, so I don't know if I should attempt it). That's just two of my options, there's another University I like that has a Communications degree. This has six different concentrations: the ones I like are Photography, Multimedia, Digital Cinema and News. Keep in mind that I love writing, drawing and designing - I love art in all aspects, so that's not a problem for me. I would've gladly gone into show business as a musician, dancer, a singer or an actress, but sadly I never managed to get training (my parents didn't have the time nor money for it).
Here's the thing, I was trying to do this by "what is easier for me" but I've realized that it doesn't work like that - it can never be that easy, it's the truth. So... I'm just wondering if anyone with experience regarding these degrees could recommend which would be the most beneficial in the sense of economic growth and job availability (I've done my fair research on each, but I'm still a little empty handed and confused).

Since you have a variety of interest and no set goal what I suggest you do is this.
Contact a course advisor or guidance counselor at your present college. In essence you are a lost soul when it comes to just what you want to study and what you would like to do as a career. You tell him or her as you have told us of your many interests and which of them are of the most interest to you.
There are tests they can give you that will tell you what and where your strengths are. I took these tests when I was your age and I was surprised at what the test pointed to as what I should do in life.
To be truthful the test results were so far afield of where I thought my strengths were that I did not believe what the results pointed to. I flounder in many different jobs before finding myself in just such a position as the test had indicated. Bingo not only was I good at it but I was sought after by my competitor companies to work for them. Their reasoning, they would rather have me on their team then fight me.
My career has been very successful and has allowed me to provide very well for my family. My advice is to ask to take this test, pay for it if you must. Then give the results serious consideration especially if the results are not what you expect.

well the design cinema might be good if you like art and fantasy, you get to create and not just be TOLD what to do and expected to make what they want. i think theres a little bit more artistic freedom here if thats what your looking for.
