<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I finished high school not too long ago, and I've done pretty well in all of my final exams etc. I've managed to get myself decent enough marks to study anything available really, given it's in my country (Australia). My strongest subject has always been English Literature and I love reading and writing.

Problem is, I'm at a point where I need to decide whether or not I should take advantage of the position I'm in academically, and study medicine or law or some other "high-brow" subject in order to net a solid career path, or risk it by taking the "passion" route and enrolling in English/Cultural studies, a pretty liberal artsy-fartsy course that doesn't hold much promise regarding any post graduation plans. 

I have no idea if I'd enjoy any of the courses I'm looking at that have decent job prospects, so I have no idea what to do. The only thing I'm certain about is that I want to relearn my native tongue (German) and take an elective in creative writing. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
<bot>: going to uni, don't know whether to pursue my interests or take up studies in more dependable fields and risk hating it
