Journalism is a major?

The only possible career move that seems left is for me to go on the lecture circuit to as many high schools and colleges as possible, warning people not to make journalism their major.
Why? Because it is completely pointless. The most you want to do is make it a minor.
Say you want to be a financial, medical or political writer. The best thing you can do is major in one of those areas, and minor in journalism and do a few internships on the side (that is until you realize that there is no money in journalism, at which point you can drop the minor and make good living actually working in finance, medicine or politics). And if you want to be a music or travel journalist -- see my previous post about how if you ever want to get there you will have to work for years and years at jobs for no money that you'd be lucky to get, and eventually work your way up to making the same amount of money as the store manager at Home Depot.
Unfortunately, no one came to my school and warned me about this, so I was a journalism major. Hence, I have no other skills to fall back on, no area of expertise to parlay my way into a viable career.
