I graduated with a BA in Communication (Public Relations) and a minor in writing in 2001. I did a year of graduate school, and I still take classes at our local tech college. Is higher education just a big effing waste of time because I haven’t reaped any of the rewards that they promise you.

Are there any careers that are similar to public relations? Possibly in the entertainment industry?

I am planning to continue my studies in mass communication, but i am still confuse. Do tell me more about public relations.

I’m a junior in college studying communications with emphasis in public relations and photography, and a minor in international business. Whenever I tell people that I’m a communications major they act like it’s a pointless degree and I’m not going to find a good job. i’ve also had 3 semesters of statistics and 3 semesters of french. ive also been really involved on campus such as worked for the admissions office, campus news station, done service projects, and i studied abroad in france for a semester. I’m thinking of switching my major to public relations because it seems like that is a more marketable major. I was also wondering if you would recommend getting a full minor in statistics vs. only 3 semesters of it, or if 3 semesters is enough to make me more marketable? I’m not entirely sure what I want to do once I’m done with college, or what options there are for a communications major, but I want to have a good job in a city once I’m done. Suggestions? Is my degree strong?
