As a current communications student, you probably realized your passion for all forms of media a while ago. You have a knack for being in the know and keeping the people around you connected. Then one day, there was that beautiful moment when you learned about the wonderful field of communications.

You read up on it, did way too many Google searches, and finally decided it was going to be your major (even if this was during your sophomore year of college). You were so excited and couldn't wait to tell your family!

Until you were bombarded with endless questions like:

"What are you going to do with that degree?"
"How are you going to make any money?"
"So you're like learning how to communicate?
"Is that even a job?"

Umm, no "communications" is not a JOB.

You eventually shake off the negativity and begin to take classes, which you LOVE. You are learning exactly what you want to do with your degree as well as developing a skill set for the field, all while networking with COMM professors and advisors.

But you're still surrounded by comments from your best friend the pharmacy student and your math major hall-mate.

"I wish my homework was as easy as yours"
"I bet my GPA would be high if I took classes about Twitter"
"What do you even do??"

Well, I'm here to tell you that the joke is on every person who has doubted a communications major. According to Student Scholarships only 5.7 percent of Media and Communication workers are unemployed and the job market is expected to grow 11.7 percent over the next 10 years.

If you ever wonder what communications really is, just look around you. It's the news you watch on TV, the billboards you drive by on the way to work, even the Tweets you scroll through. If anything, this is the time for communications majors - who's the one with the problems now?!
