What are you good at academically?
I'm all for passion and doing what you love...but what's more important is being able to take care of yourself. If you can find a skill you can acquire that will pay the bills, then you should do it while still learning about what you are passionate about.
Some people can easily go pick up a trade or skill (accounting, nursing, etc.), do that from 9-5 and then use the other hours/days for their "passion". Other people need their job and their passion to be the same thing.
Of course, you can look at this another way. Don't take on a mortgage or student loans and learn to live very simply. Then you can do what you're passionate about even if it doesn't pay well. A salary of 30-40k is more than enough if your necessities are only 15-20k.

Have you gone to the school yet to start picking out your schedule? Have you gone to speak to a counselor there? have you looked at their list of majors? What school do you plan to transfer to? Do they have any transfer agreements with other schools? What are the requirements for that? Have you spoken to your guidance counselor to help you choose the right major?
