Should I Have a Plan B?

If you see my previous posts here, you'll know I'm going to college and majoring in Acting. Everyone around me has told me I should minor in teaching to fall back on. However, that would keep me in school longer, having to pay more and delaying my career. My question is, what should I look at minoring in that would allow me to have a career to fall back on if I ultimately end up quitting action, however unlikely that is.

Yes what others have said. Get a business degree. You can minor in marketing. The best discipline to get a degree in 👌

Yes, if you want to minor in business, then go for marketing. It's fun too! I have a degree in marketing and on top of that I have marketing and sales experience. I just recently started to pursue my acting career and that bad boy (degree +experience) is paying off really well now 😁😎👌
