I have an interest in film but because it is a field with a rather unstable job my parents are against me solely majoring in it. I was wondering if its a good idea to double major in film and education? Film is something I really wish to pursue as a career but I want a degree in something else that I’m interested in to fall back on if something doesn’t go right. Also, which school would be best to do this?

Um…one that you can afford and is decently rated…?
As a fyi you should be careful about film. My AP Art History teacher did a film major and she ended up teaching Art History. The field is extremely competitive and you have to be careful.
What would you do with the education degree? Would it lead to teacher licensure and allow you to be hired in a public school? High school teachers should typically have a degree in their subject, and it can be pretty hard to find a teaching job outside of in-demand fields like STEM and special education.
