<p>Okay, so I will be attending SDSU in the fall. I am undeclared however I am eager to declare my major. I was leaning towards business...but that is really what my family expects of me rather than what I want to do. I am really into hospitality, and journalism. Recently I kind of had a realization that I would love to do something in film. Maybe be a screenwriter or do anything in that industry. I considered majoring in film...but I don't think its reliable and realistic when it comes to a job. I am now consideing majoring in journalism and minoring in Film. What do you think? Is this realistic? I want to get a job when I graduate. What jobs are there? Or what are some jobs that sound like they would fit me? Let me know.. Thank you!!</p>
<p>Don’t choose a major just because others want you to. Try doing some more research in film (minoring in it is a great idea) and decide if really is what you want to do. If you find that you are deeply passionate about it, you can probably change majors.</p>
<p>Why not try talking to a counseler for more advice?</p>
<p>(I’m going to major in film at UCSB this fall, personally. I say follow what you love first, and find a way to make opportunities from there. It may be idealistic and overly optimistic, but life is just more fun when you pursue your passions.)</p>
<p>And how much does that passion pay, and where would you find that job? I have a colleague who majored in film and is very talented, but has yet to find a job in her passion (still looking) but did find a job in teaching. Been 20 years now.</p>
<p>Many if not most students your age don’t know for sure what they want to major in when they first enter college. They may have declared but then change their minds, or came in undecided, so don’t worry. Start working on your general ed requirements and see what interests you. If film or screenwriting is really your path you will realize it eventually and not need to ask others to validate your choice. </p>
<p>Depends on what your goals are. Are you looking for a life of stability? If so, not a good choice. Most arts and entertainment esque degrees (excuse my ignorance) are hit or miss in terms of marketability. Some film majors make it big, but some never leave the struggling artist phase as some of my high school friends are beginning to realize. </p>
<p>According to forbes, the median for film is 30k, and the unemployment rate is 12%. Additionally, many who are employed are in areas outside their degrees. </p>
<p>Not saying that should influence your decision, but you should be aware of your decisions</p>
