If you have a chance to play college ball, you can ONLY do that right now. First dream fulfilled, right out of the gate. Not many people get that chance.
You can study graphic design and acting in school. If you are good enough to eventually become a professional athlete, it's not unheard of to parlay that into an acting career (Alex Carras and a few others have done it). So that's two. The graphic design career you'll have to get through a good portfolio, like everyone else. If you still want it, after all those other opportunities to make better money. :D
You're actually pretty darned lucky, you know.

I'm a graphic designer, and I would AVOID doing graphic design full time... If you must, I would do it as a freelancer (like I do now), in addition to another job. (Because you can choose what projects you want, and in my case, have 99.9999% creative control).
The actors I've known have only done extra work on the side, and there are tons of ads for that sort of acting on Craigslist.org
If there's a Second City group near you, I would look into that... And like everyone has said, it's ALL very competitive!

Acting is a highly competitive field. How far do you want to go? How hard are you willing to work or do you believe you have natural talent? Have you been in any plays? If not, get involved with community theatre. That is a great place to begin. If you want to do something creative, don't forget to consider behind the scenes details.

I tried playing college ball and being in the theatre, it didn't work, I was too tired from night rehearsals to play ball.
Go to college, play ball while you major in graphic design and minor in theatre. Be in the college plays if you can handle the scheduling. (I couldn't). It you cant. You can act after college. It will always be there, ball won't.

Take things one step at a time. Speak to your counselor, they tend to give you options on what to do with your education. They're all interesting fields to go in, but just take each one, one step at a time.

Adventures do no longer final. Loving thoughts do.
