I must say that some of this sounds quite familiar. I too am very good with numbers and enjoy the English language; especially writing. I would say that because of my education mixed with natural talent, I excel at both. Unfortunately, my passion was focused more on English and writing and less on the numbers. After going to college in hopes of gaining an English degree, I realized too late that there was little in the way of jobs and quality of life with pursuing such a thing. I ended up switching to a Major in Elementary School Education with a Minor in English. Now due to a combination of every college and university in the state pumping out education grads and our governor slashing the education budget by millions resulting in record lay-offs for teachers, I am not teaching but that is a different story for different times.

Where you stand out here is your professed enjoyment of numbers and skill with them. I did not discover my own talent and ability with numbers until it was too late and I already chose the path that best fit my passion. I should have gone with the skills that would better provide me with a productive, financially superior occupation than skills that only furthered my own love.

You will have people tell you to do whatever it takes to attain that which you desire most. While that is a novel idea, it is not realistic and is something best left for a good story. Does that mean that you should completely give up on that which you really want? Hell no. Just be realistic with your expectations. Having buried myself in English classes for years and experiencing the world of writing outside of high-school, I can tell you that you are about as likely to make a living off of writing as you would being a five foot tall white guy trying to become the next Michael Jordan.

You seem to be off to a great start by actually giving it all some in-depth thought. Many people that I have known in my life have done the opposite and paid the price. If you are good with numbers, capitalize on that. Get an education in a related field be it engineering or something else that relies on mathematics. Use that area as your Major and if you still want to flex your writing muscles, go for the Minor in English with a focus on Literature and Creative Writing. That way you can ensure that you will have a better opportunity for a stable job and comfortable life after school in which you can then continue with your passion for writing.

The way I have chosen to live my life these days; based on my experiences in high-school, college, and the "real-world" is to never jump off the bridge without a bungee cord. It's always fun to go with what is enjoyable but if you don't have something to tie you to reality, you will end up drowning.
