Future Career

This is going to be quite lengthy but i really need advice . i am currently a year 12 student studying A-level english, sociology and level 3 media. I have a deep passion for film/media and was considering a career in Journalism. However, recently i have been put off the career due to what i feel is a low uk salary and also what the degree entails in university. I am fascinated by entertainment/ celebrity/ film journalism however i feel like most of the university courses entail spending a long time studying political journalism and the news which i fear could possibly make me not enjoy the course and put me off the career. The thought of not studying journalism makes me feel weird since it has been my dream for years now and i am stuck on what to do i really want to work in the media/film industry however i am not sure what jobs i could go for in them or if they are even well paying careers as i want to be able to earn money as i have academically worked so hard. Many also say it is not worth going to uni for film or media as it puts you in a lot of debt and the outcoming salary is not always worth it but i wanted to use university as an excuse to not only get a degree but to get out of the west midlands (where i currently live) and preferably move down south because i feel like there are more job opportunities down that way (my dad tells me this is not true however i am unsure) so another thing i am considering is an apprenticeship degree but another question is do i have the opportunity to move away doing an apprenticeship degree or would university be better. Any advice on jobs in media/film industry, if a journalism degree is worth it or if i should go university or do an apprenticeship degree would be ever so highly appreciated.
