Is communications the best major for me?

<p>Okay so what I’m really interested in the future is pretty specific. My mom was diagnosed with cancer last summer, and since then I’ve become passionate about making a difference in the fight. I started and am president of a club at school devoted to it, and this year alone we raised about $5000 that we donated to the American cancer society and Boston children’s hospital. We also have focused on education and raising awareness for cancer within our school, including the dangers of tanning and smoking. I feel like I’m really good at what I do and want to somehow make a career of it, whether working for ACS or Dana Farber, etc. Do you think communications is a good major? Anything else you can think of? </p>

<p>I’m leaning towards going in undeclared just in case I change my mind. English has always been my strongest subject and I’ve always been a good writer.</p>

<p>That sounds great! What about a minor in some sort of relevant science to go with your writing/comm major?</p>

<p>Do you mean like bio? Because I’ve really never been crazy about sciences.</p>

4

<p>Yup, like bio. It would probably add more credibility to your promotion of the topics, as it’s nice to know a promoter is more than just a voice for a cause - they also care enough about the topic to inform themselves about it.</p>
