Lost monkey

So hello,

I'm kind of new around here and would like to know if it's to late to consider a move in the business world. I'm Canadian and Norwegian, went to Spanish and British pre-schools in Costa Rica at age 6, French AEFE schools in Bulgaria, Canada and Norway later on because my father works as a consultant. Tried myself 12 weeks at a Norwegian high school at age 16 and went to Canadian Cégep at age 18... Tried to get into Mensa so I took the WAIS in English ans scored 133. Failed a Wonderlic PAT with 24/50 points. Scored 147 on a French WAIS and got into TNS... Got a French BCG (baccalauréat général) in languages at age 22 in Paris and attended Sorbonne University, first majoring in Economics, then Philosophy and French language. Got 800/990 points on a TOEIC with Wall Street English. Went to an Intertational Business School named Institut Supérieur de Gestion in their Business Management Program, dropped out and tried drama school in the Arctic Circle, got kicked out, studied languages again. Moved to Canada, tried law school, was kicked out. Went to UQAM and studied Philosophy again. I have one year done in term of college credits. Just finished a Duolingo English proficiency test in order to get into an anglophone school, got 130/160. I'm considering starting off with a major in film studies and then transfer back to business school. My passion is in the arts but I also appreciate the idea of having a decent paying job.
