Major in MT with a minor in theater tech?

When my D was looking I remember that Kent State offered several theatre tech minors. But if you are in the BFA program it would be really challenging to take a minor due to the number of required classes/units. That will be true at a lot of places, but not all. Need to check with each school about that. And whether theatre majors are allowed to minor in theatre. Again varies by school.

Most programs we saw (BFA or BA) required at least one intro tech theatre class. Then some production credits. Is that enough to subsidize an MT career - you could probably help with some jobs but the main ones probably require more training and experience. But those here more closely aligned with theatre might offer better perspective on that.
