<p>It’s all about your marketability and how well you know the industry in which you are trying to get into. </p>
<p>I don’t understand why people have issues with communications, but maybe thats because communications at some schools are a joke major for lazy people. At my school that is not the case. I’m in the school of communications studying video production, and yeah, you can go through the curriculum, fulfill all your requirements, yada yada yada, but unless you PREPARE YOURSELF on your own time, put in the effort to make yourself marketable to a competitive industry, you will not succeed. BUT if you prepare yourself correctly, you will be able to crack an industry that is hard to get into. Almost everything these days is driven by media/communications. There will ALWAYS be jobs in this sector, you just have to learn how to understand the industry. </p>
<p>The teachers you have also makes a huge difference. Right now i am taking a class called Business of Media. The professor teaching it has been researching what it takes to succeed in the media field. In the 4 classes that i’ve had so far i have already learned so much, and it’s great, because he is still very connected to the industry. Just today he was like, “Yes I was talking to yadayada yesterday who is a professional sound engineer…”…</p>
<p>And then on the flip side, my friend took the class with a different teacher and said the entire class was a joke because the teacher didn’t know anything about the subject. </p>
<p>Choose your teachers (as) wisely (as you can). Know your industry. Be good at what you do. Few majors are truly useless if you traverse it the right way.</p>
