WHAT CAN I EVEN DO WITH A COMMUNICATIONS MAJOR.

Not to discourage you in any way, but I was just talking to my mom today about how much I regret my BA in Mass Communication.

I personally didn't do anything with it an went to grad school. Most of my other friends don't use their MCOM degree. One went to grad school and works at a museum. One worked at chick fil a/sold insurance before she became barefoot and pregnant, one worked for his church etc and so forth

Not in college, but MCOM, is my intended major. My Director of Counselling suggested to minor in marketing or get a focus in PR. That way you have some flexibility in what to do after school.​

Communications is my major. But at my school you pick and emphasis (or 2, so it would be like a double major if you pick 2) of marketing, public relations, photography, journalism and something else I think? I"m doing journalism and then probably a minor in marketing and in a perfect world I would use that degree to get a job working at a magazine (American Cheerleader?!) or a publishing job like Sandra Bullock in The Proposal or Annsatasia whatever in 50 shades.

I figure Ill branch off into HR or something. It sounded good when I signed the paper....

Hajj. I see.

Alexx do you have any interest in government and/or policy? Communications was one of my majors and I was a speech writer/media person for a representative and then a senator right after I graduated. I loved it!

Alexx - Communication classes will def teach you a lot of things that are relevant to not only whatever career path you choose but to real life situations. I took an Argumentation class last semester and even though it wont apply to any of my majors or minors, I'm so glad I took that class because I learned so much from it. Lots of "real world" knowledge stuff. Anyways, the communications major is a great choice but I definitely think you should pair it with something. By itself it might be hard to find a job but pursue it with another major or minor and it will look great on your resume and to future employers. And from what people are saying here, it looks like the Communications Major is paired with something else. I use my Mass Comm minor as a "booster" minor. For example, I want to get into Graphic Design so my major is Computer Art. I picked up a Computer Science minor sophomore year because knowing a little bit of code and how computers work sometimes go hand in hand with what I will be doing. At the beginning of this year (Junior), I decided to squeeze in the Mass Comm minor and I'm really glad I did. It definitely enhances what employers in my field are looking for. Both of my minors enhance my major very well.

I think it'd be a good idea to find a minor that relates what you're wanting to get into (or second major if you're feeling ambitious!) It will make you more "sellable" to future employers! Talk to your adviser or find someone in the field you're looking at and ask them what they majored/minored in (or better yet, ask them what they would've majored/minored in if they had the knowledge they had now). Good luck!

That's exactly what I did. I'm a double major in Mass Communications and Journalism. I was going to drop Mass Comm and do just Journalism, but having Mass Comm is a nice "fall back" if I can't find a writing job. And I just LOVE communications classes. They really are awesome classes to take and learn from because you can pick up on so much to help you in anything out there.

this holiday confuses me so much... I'm probably as irish as one can be (just short of actually being born in ireland) but St. Patrick wasn't even irish. and corned beef isn't even an irish food. and i can't even drink a Guinness because it's not a vegetarian friendly beer (yuck)

sorry for my weird rant, Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

Sorry this is late and now we're far from the holiday but I haven't been on in awhile. St. Patrick was enslaved and brought to Ireland at a young age and officially died as the First Bishop of Ireland on March 17th. Corned beef was made popular during the 1600's and was produced mostly in Ireland and the term corned is English for something pertaining to how it was cooked of which I have no idea. I'm a history nerd.

Hahahahaha GreatWhite92 one of my guy friends and I locked his keys in his car during a hockey game and we didn't get out until 1 a.m. and had to stand in the cold cuz the rink had closed until his mom could come pick us up. Note we are both in college and his mom had to drive 45 mins to come get us and call AAA for us. So embarassing.

Thank you! I was super disappointed that the team couldn't stay to actually celebrate the bid (I just got home and we left 8.5 hours ago), but Jarrel and Maddie did a great job of accepting/celebrating our bid for us! Just glad we could run clean twice!

Corned beef and cabbage actually became a tradition when the Irish came to America and met up with the Jewish population in the larger cities. It's more of an Irish-American tradition rather than purely Irish because as we have been told by many, the Irish could not afford to eat beef with most of their meals back in the day.
