USC & Job Placement

<p>USC has a very good journalism program but if you major in journalism you are going to be hard pressed to find a well-paying job straight out of college - it’s just the nature of the entertainment/news industry. You start very low and hopefully work your way up. PR might give you some more prospects for employment in maybe a marketing position.</p>

<p>On the other hand, the prospects for a business major are quite good. The median salary for a Marshall grad is 53,000 (including bonus) after graduation. See: <a href=“http://www.marshall.usc.edu/assets/092/17620.pdf[/url]”>http://www.marshall.usc.edu/assets/092/17620.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
