First off...finish school. Secondly, apply to higher education...and thirdly...
go to a school that teaches both MMA and JKD. Why the hell not, eh?

In my opinion, muay thai is the best base art you can have for either one of these. So train both, but put extra effort into muay thai to develop your stand up game. Shit, I even heard Erik Paulson say that it's easier to make a striker into a grappler than vice versa. Plus it's more practical for bullshit scuffles you may get into...it's not enough to kill somebody like the FMA stuff you'd learn along with it...nor would it open you up to a stomping in a multiple attacker scenario like a grappling base would.

Muay thai is generally taught in MMA schools, and it is one of the arts taught by Inosanto JKD camp peoples...which is really the only way to go.

Find an Inosanto affilliate school. The rest should fall into place.
