My son may choose to pursue a dance degree and career. I've told him, if that's his choice, then he also needs to get an academic degree. This will limit his choice of dance school, but so be it.

My question here is, what academic degree(s) would you suggest he consider?

The idea is the academic degree is for when his dance career ends, or as a backup if he never has a dance career, or to help if he ends up a part time dancer. Seems like at least one of those scenarios is highly likely and maybe more than one.

Technical degrees seem prone to rapid obsolescence and forgetting. Humanities degrees seem of uncertain usefulness. Maybe something business-y, like a generic business degree? Throwing it open for ideas. I realize his academic interests are of paramount importance, but let's just discuss in a vacuum.
