har - It’s very common for musicians to have another career too. In fact, for the vast majority it is necessity. But usually they are fields not necessarily requiring a degree (real estate, business etc).

Engineering/CS is HARD. Music major is HARD. Combining them seems near impossible - there have been other threads on this somewhere on CC.

Personally I’m not advocating the music major route for somebody unwilling to take a school teaching position, but it is your decision. You are very smart to be considering backup plans… but like the many students on these threads considering double majors, you may still need to do more research to find practical plans.
