Is mass communication a good option for the career?

As a mass communication graduate, I can honestly say there are several paths you can take with the broad knowledge you'll gain. Choosing the right internship and the right minor will help you go far in any of the following career paths. Advertising, broadcasting (TV/Radio/Web), journalism (Newspaper/Online), public relations, marketing, publishing, film, and any other subcategories from these. It is best to figure out as early in your college career as possible which area(s) you are most interested in or passionate about. You can then cater your minor to fit that area and seek an internship that will help you get a foot in the door for when you graduate. Even if you do not get a job specifically in an agency or large company there are smaller companies who need the skills of a communication graduate. Oil companies, law firms, government businesses, event companies, etc. all look for those who can use the skills gained from this type of degree.
