People with liberal arts degrees are having a tough time finding jobs so imagine the time you'll have with a film degree.

I think Columbia would be interesting and fun but its very expensvie and most people who go to Columbia go for majors where a very small percentage of people will actually find careers.

Going to school to be a music producer is akin to paying that tuition to be a professional basketball player. Sure it may help you but one in a few hundred thousand if not more make it.

Your getting yourself in a whole lot of debt for something you probably wont make money at. A very small percentage of people will get involved in film, music, etc the rest will be working the audio at churches and schools.

If you want to do English or Film get a teaching degree that way you can study English and also have a real job to fall back on.
