Graphic Design doesn’t necessarily involve “drawing” in the sense but more or so skills with Photoshop and a few other computer programs. To me, Photoshop is extremely complicated but if you have access to it I would try it out. Easy for some, hard for others. But if you know that’s not what you want to do, then that’s fine.

A minor is made to “supplement” your major. For an example, I will use myself. I plan on going into healthcare management (i.e. running a hospital) so I am currently majoring in Public Health which gives me the basis that I am qualified for more hospital/nonprofit/health work, but I am minoring in Business Administration to show that I also have more management skills and can understand business. This can also work in reverse for me, but not always for others. Your minor should either help specialize you, or give you more skills that would be beneficial (like a foreign language). Some also get minors just for the heck of it.

Marketing would typically involve office work. Yes you can lean towards media in Marketing and you pretty much have to in this day and age. I haven’t heard of “music industry studies” but if it exists than sure why not. Do what you would like to do.
