English is a very broad topic - it might help to know specifically what it is about English that specifically interests you.

Is it the process of writing, reading or perhaps learning about the history of the English language? Each of these interests could lead down different paths.

In my opinion, it's very rare for a VCE student graduating from secondary school to know exactly what he wants to do straight away. It's a process of self-discovery: from what I've seen, most people (myself included) end up not enjoying what they do at University.

Fortunately, universities and educational institutions are aware of this and are fairly flexible in the way they are set up. For example: If you're studying Engineering and you find you're actually interested in Psychology, there's a good chance you can either add some Psychology electives or switch course altogether (and sometimes you can be awarded credit along the way!)

Don't worry: you probably won't get it right the first time. But there's plenty time to learn from your mistakes and adjust your trajectory.

To anyone pondering this question themselves: I would recommend you speak to a professional careers counsellor from your school before committing to a decision!
