Tom’s Answer

I have an undergraduate degree in communications and found that to be very adequate in getting jobs. It is a very adaptable degree, I could apply it to a number of different job opportunities. I just did a national search on the job site indeed.com using 'masters of communications' as a search term and the results were sparse. If you have an undergrad degree in communications you might either explore job potentials with just that, or perhaps consider graduate school in a complimentary field in business, political science, etc. Good luck.
Thank you comment icon Thank you so much Tom! Would you mind answering another question? What does a day in the life of your communications job look like? Thanks so much! -Kim Kimberly

Tom’s Answer

I applied my communications degree to the field of marketing and advertising. A typical day was hectic. Meeting deadlines, having competing time demands, checking the status of projects, writing ads and copy for publications, meetings, coffee in the AM, and a beer at the end of the day. I enjoyed it for many years. Communications however is a degree you can apply to many fields. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Brittany’s Answer

I agree with the responses above, a communications degree will open many doors for you! I found that the more general communications degree becomes more adaptable when applying for various careers. I initially was going to go to school for Broadcast Journalism but then changed to a general Communications undergraduate degree. Since graduation I've applied to various communications-related careers and the general degree paired with the extensive practice of "putting communication skills to work" helped significantly. Good luck!
