My intention is neither to attack your character nor your choice of academic concentration. I was simply arguing that it is preposterous to state that graduates from the communications program are the ones making the “real difference” as opposed to graduates of other majors. The truth of the matter is, almost all employers will care very much what your major is, and certainly any PhD programs will also. More academic rigor equals more learning, and as a double major I’m sure you can attest to the relative difficulties of majors within the two schools (it is no coincedence that many pre-meds transfer into Comm Studies to boost their GPA’s).

And yes, I completely missed the sarcasm in your previous post. It seemed to me that you were blatently pointing out that the people with the real power to make a difference were formally trained in communication. If you are uncomfortable at having to defend your statements over an internet board, don’t make posts that you will have to defend yourself over.
