i like to be creative and creating random stuff, i decided to choose film as my major, if not then graphic design, and i was wondering if film leads to unemployment? i hear an amount of people saying it does, but i'm hoping to get an internship and work my way there. specifically into animation/editing/screenwriting, maybe producrer but that'll be many years to coming..

It does have a lot less opportunities then lets say engineering... in film if you arent the top of the top you will be hardpressed making a living, but as an engineer or CS major even if you are average you can make 6 figures.
always tired -_-

since you're in california, if you are serious about film you should aim for USC, UCLA, or Chapman if possible.

You're going to want connections or really distinguish yourself. I only know one film student and she's only in it because she has relatives in the film industry. Good luck to you though, do what you like.

Well I'm a broadcast journalism major in the TV and Radio department but that's certainly not a Film major... Like we do videos, editing and producing various shows....

Well idk about you but in my school, there is a TV and Radio Department for "TV and Radio" majors and Broadcast Journalism major and Film Department for film majors. The two departments are complete rivals to each other always competing b/c it's so similar yet still different. The two main clubs (TV Production Club and Film Society) are also rivals to each other always competing. The students between the two departments are rivals to each other as well always competing and fighting over superiority. Who is the superior side? Who knows, but I'm bias as heck since I'm President of my TV Production club and we produce so many shows that are semi ok when film society only one show per semester that is good. So we win by numbers...

Anyway, the whole point I want to say here is that connections and work experience are very important in securing a job. You definitely need some sort of base to work with and you have to learn a set of all sorts of skills, become a balanced rounded person with knowledge of the field and have to be very active. It's similar to TV and Radio, it is very completive in these media fields and the only way to survive is to be ahead of the game against many other students or people just like you who wants to be in this industry. Whether that's internship, connection, abilities, experience, or something else that you have that others don't, this is at least the bare minimum requirement. KEEP THAT IN MIND.

If you have any real questions, I'll be more than happy to give you some more advices and help. But watch out, we're like distant cousins but very different.... + Show Spoiler +
nah, just kidding, there's no way our paths cross over so I'll be more than happy to help you out for advices to succeed!
