Does a Major Limit Your Opportunities?

I ask because I attend an art/design school and my major will be fashion design. My issue with fashion design is that I don’t know how employers that aren’t necessarily hiring a designer, look at a degree in fashion.

For example if i wanted to go into a career in advertising or public relations or maybe even wokring for a magazine, would a d egree in fashion design be looked upon it negatively?

I mean the ideal thing would be to major in communication design, but for me it’s like fashion is what i want to major in now. it’s not necessarily what i want to pursue a career. I just don’t want to be limited by the whole you’re a fashion designer, and that’s the only thing you can do.

So i guess if i wanted to pursue a masters degree in a field unrelated to fashion, but that can still open up doors in other industries in case i get bored or dont want to be in the fashion industry, what major would that be?
