Maybe play in wedding bands????? As for the "maybe want to" gigging later in life, you will need to know how to play the sax family as well--clarinet alone is not enough. And there is no better time to start that than right now.

I would forget a formal minor in music--that being worthless to useless anyway--and simply take the music classes that interest you. Some private clarinet lessons, theory and arranging courses and the like. Joining the college jazz lab would also provide some valuable experiance.

You don't need to be a music minor (or major) to enjoy music for the rest of your life. Just need to know how to play--and the more instruments (sax/flute, etc) and the more styles of music (versatility) you are good at will only enhance your future love. Keep asking those questions and insist on
answers--that's what those college profs are being paid for (by your tuition).
