I am a media production major at my school which falls under the realms of communications. For my particular major, I will be able to get a job doing almost anything in film or TV. My ambition is to be a film editor. However, I could also be a director, screenwriter, cinematographer, producer, camera operator, literally anything to do with TV or film.

All aspects of journalism, both broadcast and print fall under the communications umbrella. With a degree in print journalism, you could write for a newspaper, magazine, website or any other news source. With a degree in broadcast journalism, you could become a news caster, a reporter, or even work for a radio station.

There’s another major at my school called media studies. I’m not sure what this means, but I believe with a degree in this you could become a film critic or something along the lines of studying any kind of media.

Yep, I majored in Communications and be prepared to starve until you realize a real job is what is needed to pay your bills.

I was a Comm. Arts major, but my focus was Radio (HAHAhaha!), TV and Film.

The last job I interviewedfor was as a Communications Manager for the NYC Department of Education, where I would be responsible for communicating the goals of that office with the public. Public relations, marketing, and those sorts of jobs would fit in with a Comm Arts major, but I’d try to get an internship with a company I was interested in, if I were you. There’s also TV and film jobs you could try for as well. I also worked in corporate communications, where I produced videos, websites and presentations for Fortune 500 companies with whatever message they wanted to send to their clients, consumers, stockholders or employees.

I’m majoring in Communications with emphasis on Technical Writing. My goal is to work in editing and possibly some freelance grant application writing.
