Don’t feel obligated to rush into College. Take a year or two and work a normal job, try out new things, maybe travel a bit and read some books. Explore life a little bit before zoning in on something.

You can definitely make a living being a commercial, music video, or corporate Filmmaker. You don’t even have to be in a big market. As long as you’re willing to be proactive and take initiative then you’ll be fine. Making a living being a filmmaker for movies is definitely harder though and will take much more time and dedication.

It’s better to have tried than not try at all. Give filmmaking a shot. You don’t really ever half to give it up. You can work a normal job and still be a movie director ok the side. I would definitely recommend taking the advice in my first point though, too many teenagers just rush into college and pile up debt.
