Hi Aradhna, Mass Communication is an exciting major providing you the opportunity to explore the world through print, electronic, and broadcasting. Not long ago, people with good communication skills and a degree in literature were considered fit for journalism and other areas of mass communication. However, with technology playing greater role in our lives, all professions related to mass communication now require skilled professionals who work fast and efficiently send across the message to a whole range of audience. There are no preparation strategies or set formula for making a career in mass communication. A graduate degree in the field is good to start with but a post graduate degree or diploma is almost essential to be considered for responsible positions in any organisation. ALL THE BEST Mass communication opens doors for a career in films & TV, publishing, public relations, journalism, editing, direction, filmmaking, scriptwriting, production, etc.As far as remuneration is concerned it varies from one area of mass communication to another. However it is much dependent on the size of the organisation, its location combined together with the level of responsibility.
