Can someone please give me honest information about the Communication Studies Program?

I was accepted to the Communication Studies program but I do not know what I am getting myself into. This is something that very much interests me but I am absolutely terrified that this degree will not be enough and I will never find a job. I’ve read other posts on this site about the major and half of the commenters say “you’ll never find a job and it’s a fluff degree,” and the other half say “this is a great program in the entertainment capital of the world and my friends who graduated have super cool jobs in Hollywood.” I want to believe the second half of commenters, but honestly I have no idea what is true. I am really interested in getting a job in PR, advertising, or something of that nature, so Communication Studies seemed like the best fit for me and UCLA is my dream school. But, I am an OOS student so I don’t want to be getting in debt for a degree that will get me laughed at. Truthfully, and without bias, can anyone tell me about this major?
