I don't want to be harsh but the reality is either you can afford to try a very hard path such as "bachelor's degree in journalism and media studies." where it seems competencies don't really matter or you push your kids to study something where the odds of finding a jobs are higher. Unfortunately it seems like, journalism, acting, professional sports is not about talent but about who you meet and when :/ May be I'm a pessimist but that's how I feel about certain jobs/career paths.
