Parents pressuring sister to major in "something useful".

I agree with SmithieandProud: Instead of encouraging her to major in something that is more practical on-the-face, you should ask your sister if any Film Studies related career might be of interest (critic, academic, archivist, etc).

It might be that film is just some hobby that she doesn’t want to pursue professionally, but it also might be that she hasn’t really considered all of the options because your parents are so dismissive of the whole idea (and because she might not even know about careers like film archivist).
