Career-wise, I have no idea what i wanna do with my life

So, I’m 17 and I know I probably shouldn’t be worrying about this rn, but I am. I’m applying to college and I've been having a bit of a life crisis. Almost everyone I know has an idea of what career they want and what they plan on majoring in to get into that career (mostly computer science bc everyone thinks they're gonna immediately be millionaires and retire at 35 if they do that). I thought I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but now I feel like I'm not sure and I'm starting to panic.

So, I wanted to try to get into the gaming industry bc I like videogames and typically game companies care more about your skills than your degree (I want to be a narrative designer but that's super difficult so I thought I would start w/ quest design which is close and more in demand, and then wiggle my way into narrative). But I hear people say that the videogame industry pays dust and is horrible and then I was like "ok, I'll just kinda keep that on the back burner but like not throw away the idea entirely",

So I was like, ok, what is something else I like? And I stumbled upon UX, specifically UX writing and I was like alright, I can do that. So basically, I was gonna major in something HCI related or something (like cogsci) bc I feel like that would kind of allow me to still have the opportunity to pursue either field, y'kow? But then I was researching stuff about UX today and I was like "this stuff seems boring af, I don't want to do this for the rest of my life", and then I started to panic.

The thing is, the only thing I'm really good at is writing but I have been told time and time again that writing is useless and I can't get a decently paying job in anything writing-related, which is why I considered UX or the gaming industry in the first place. I'm just confused. What do I do? Idk what I want to do for the rest of my life. Should I just do what everyone else is doing atm and just follow the highest paying job so I can make lots of money and just forget about what I like? Do I live to work or work to live? Can you tell I'm having a panic attack right now? What do I do?

I've researched job after job and I still don't know what specifically I want to do. I'm scared I'm gonna make the wrong choice or do the wrong thing. I'm not a very materialistic person, so I don't want to just follow money but I don't want to be broke but I also want to like my job. I'm a very creative person. I like storytelling and creating fun stuff. I really scared guys. I think I'm screwed...
