5 Reasons a Communications Degree is Worth The Investment
The negative stigma needs to go.
Currently, I’m in college pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Media and Communication, and I love what I study. However, it comes with a stigma and I’ve heard it all before.
“What are you even going to do with that?”
“So, you don’t know what you want to do I’m guessing.”
“Yeah, you’re not going to make anything with that degree.”
While I always acknowledge everyone’s criticism and concerns, I also feel as if the study of communications as a whole is misunderstood. Therefore, I wanted to share the following reasons as to why it is worth investing in a communications degree.
1. Communications is Versatile
One of the biggest critiques when it comes to communication studies is that this degree is so broad and vague, that it almost seems useless. However, similar to business, communications could be used to go in a lot of different directions. Some of the top fields that involve graduates with communication degrees include social media manger, brand strategist, web producer, public relations specialist, journalist, news anchor, or human resources manager.
