What jobs can you get with a bachelor's degree in communications?

Answer 1

Jobs with a Degree in CommunicationsHere are some suggestions:

• I am going for a degree in Communications with my major being Advertising. I know their are many jobs for that degree, like media, journalism (spelling?) Advertising, creating and presenting speeches. Any job that communicates through Ads, voice, pictures, or writings. I think it's a great degree.

• I graduated in July, 2004 with a BA in Communications from the University of Colorado. Just 3 weeks later, I obtained a Management Trainee position with a reputable retail store. The pay is great and the work is both fun and challenging. As soon as I complete the program, which is designed to last 6 months to a year, I will be able to move to another store location and become that store manager. The benefits are unbelievable and there is a lot of earning potential.

• If you have a communications degree with a major in advertising, you sound well suited to a public relations position. You will have interaction with clients on a regular basis, you will have frequent opportunities to use your writing ability and other communications skills, and you will get many great perks and freebies associated with being the client's voice in the media. There is often travel involved, too. Advertising is a great field. I'm a copywriter, and I love it.

• It depends on what you mean by "communication". I have a masters degree in Communication but my focus is Interpersonal Communication which is very different from journalism and advertising. With that degree (even just my B.A.) I was eligible to do training (going into organizations and helping them figure out how their communication is and is NOT working for them and helping tweak it), with a teaching certification I could teach at a high school (they are now requiring a communication course), there are research positions, image consultations, etc. I'm not as sure what you can do with a Bachelors as I am with a Master's. I think it just really depends on which part of Comm you find interesting.
