What job does a degree in communications get you?

yup, supply and demand...today it's a good idea to combine degrees...communication/marketing, communication/finance...

 

Military service they love college graduates assuming they can pass the other entrance requirements.

 

. Its diverse. A degree in communications is a benefit for almost any field.....communication is a foundation of business. Marketing, advertising, negotiation, recruiting, sales and almost any position of leadership needs communication skills.

 

Could be a lot of well-educated burger flippers in there. Just like lots of Bachelor degreed cab drivers, motel clerks, security guards, etc.

 

Maybe, but was firing less capable help really the best business practice, once the economy recovers better.

 

You are funny.

 

Perhaps, but I'm not kidding. There's lots of Bachelor degreed cab drivers, motel clerks, security guards, burger-flippers, etc, now just as there were in the mid-70s when I graduated from college.

 

ok i get your point.

 

ya our memories often paint the past as rosier than they really were...i recall many "engineers and scientists" without employment back then, employment depends a great on the economy obviously and new graduates will always find it difficult to find a job in their exact profession...

and career choices supply and demand, if their is a shortage in one field then obviously that's a good choice to study for but once that sector is saturated with workers then those still in training will find it difficult to find employment...anecdotal example- my nephew didn't know in what pursue, I advised HVAC technician as there is an extreme shortage of techs here, he did and found only 6 others enrolled and literally dozens of companies lined up waiting to hire those 6 immediately as apprentices...right now we have a surplus of teachers with more graduates than positions available, but the situation for both occupations could change/reverse in 10 years...so it's supply and demand no field of study is the wrong one as long as there is a demand...

 

In terms of teachers, I've found that teaching jobs are easy to get in easy times, and hard to get in hard times. That tells me that we are still in a bad point economically.

 

from what I read about teachers in the US we have very different situations regarding teachers, but I understand your point...

 

It will get you no job like trying to apply with any other degree in social sciences..If you are from an economy that does well, you will be able to squeeze into some labor market and get a job..most likely for bad salary..
