Deciding major? Gap year? Trying out new things?

I'm taking a gap year, currently working so I can save up for UNI. I'm not sure what I want to study but I do know that I am good more at the social media, creative side, art side. I live in a small town with no opportunities in the areas of field that I want to do, I can't afford to move out either to try out opportunities in person. I was wondering, if I could sort of self-teach myself the things I want to do online to get a hint of what I want to do, and what I can see myself doing, for more clarity, like graphic design, branding, perhaps trying out a business, website-making, maybe a bit of fashion design here and there, product-formulation. (I know it's a lot I want to try out, but I like trying new things, and with somewhat of this free-time and no tests or exams I can do it) I also want to mention, I have a sort of a clear idea to see what major I want, because I don't want to major in "art", I'd rather minor in the arts/design, because I feel like I can self-teach myself those things. I feel like I want to take majors that provide a foundation and a base to it, so that then I can make money off of it, rather it just being a "passion" so then I can turn it into money. I'm thinking about business, but some seem to say it's a worthless major. I feel like it would help me in any case if I want to do either of the things I mentioned above, it would help if I ever want to perhaps build a business whether it be for fashion, products, brand, creating websites, promoting, and know the business side of things since I am thinking more about wanting to work for myself rather than for a company, and leaning towards more free-lancing. I also want the degree as a back-up, just in case.
I've also heard marketing majors as well, but I'm not sure. (It's honestly a rant, but I will strongly appreciate feedback)

Also, I'm debating on going full-time so I can have money for UNI, but I also want to have time to try all these new things that I want to try out.
