Job Satisfaction

General quality of life statement

We'll be real. Communications majors are below average when it comes to job satisfaction and salary for college grads. (We leave all that fluff and sugar-coating to the marshmallow factories, thank you very much.) There's an awful lot of chatter about whether a degree in communications is the best way to go if you're heading off to another field.

With that being said, they still earn their keep. We like the communications major because, hey, not everyone knows what they want to do for the rest of their lives when they're just eighteen. Majoring in communications is a great way to pick up some valuable skills while figuring that out.

It's true that it might be an uphill climb after college for a little while. Figuring out how to use your degree (if you're not already sure) is tough, but once you get past that hurdle, we think you'll find that life as a communications graduate has a lot to offer.
