As of this writing, I am a college sophomore thinking of double majoring with art and a major that is practical. I really love to do digital artwork on photoshop and illustrator in my spare time next to video games but I would like to get a job after graduation. I have student loans to pay after wards you know.

I also want to make sure I am happy with my career as well as the second major. The last time I tried to major is something I thought that would get me good money and a great job (Multimedia Computing), I did not do so well in C++ and realized the plan backfired. I am taking art instead because its where my passions lie more in. However, I want to make sure this second major would not be the same case as the computer major (By the way, I talked about this in my past forum topics I started but its probably buried in the older posts by now)

Is there a practical major that can complement an art degree? Some of my ideas include:
-Taking business, one of the popular majors. (My most likely choice)

-Marketing- However, I asked about if its "practical" and marketable in this economy in a separate topic and opinions seemed to be mixed.

-Multimedia Computing? - Admittedly, I have not fully explored this major because I only took one class required for it (Intro to C++) and I had bad test grades. Today, I don't remember the coding basics anymore. Ironically, I am thinking of giving it a second chance, just to gain more skills to make video games. Besides, the major has game design classes in it. I will ask my college for more information but I will just throw this in anyway.

-If you can suggest an alternative practical major from the three above I will really appreciate it.

I think its worth noting that I live in New York City. It may not be LA but some people called it an "artistic" place. People say location matters so thought I should throw that in.

Anyway, what are your opinions on this?

Thanks in advance.
