Current music major here with some input.
First off, the bulk of your work will be practicing, but make no mistake, you are still a college student and there's still a lot to do. As long as you work hard, it should be manageable.
You can almost certainly land an education job, just maybe not where and what type you want. You may end up teaching middle school instead of high school, or teaching band and string orchestra at the same time, etc. There are opportunities, but they may not always be what you had planned.
I'd absolutely recommend majoring in music, we need new ideas and more teachers to keep kids involved in music.
Can't say in regards to your last question, I'm still in college.
Bottom line, absolutely major in music, but I recommend music education as the best choice for finding a job. I can't tell you how many performance majors I've met who graduated and could only find jobs at Music & Arts, Sam Ash, etc. Hope this helps.
