    I'm glad this video came out. In the Black community, most Black people view communication degrees as being stupid and a waste of time. I am tired of the ridicule and scoffing. This video helps.

    I would highly suggest anybody going for a communications degree: make sure you complete internships for whatever field you want to work in. It is quite hard finding a job with a communications degree and no experience in the field you want to work in. They usually go for someone that has a specialized degree for the job or experience. Speaking from experience.

      @@fanyr4319 Hello, I'll be attending college next year and completely understand where you're at. If you're pursuing a reliable future (with more opportunities), Communications is 100% the way to go. English degrees typically land you a niche job, and these types of jobs are becoming more scarce every day. I considered an English degree as well, but communications will inevitably teach you more, offer you more opportunities, and you could often land a similar job by having a strong communications background anyway. Also, maybe try a double major or major/minor to get the best of both degrees. Hope this helps, I'll be praying for ya! I hate these types of decisions as well lol

There are options but I think my degree was just my first step. That and I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted to be. Now things are different, I'm learning more skills and trying to gain as many experiences I can so I set my sights on where I really want to go.

    I majored in "Communication & Conflict" and I feel I wasted 4 years grinding for it. Majority of interesting jobs in my opinion is "writer jobs", "Social Media jobs", or other various real estate jobs + HR. I hear its a great degree all the time but so far no luck with finding my short term career.

    It was inspiring at 13 but it would have been better to talk about students careers after they graduated.

      There is no problem. Its just that there are so many people seeking very few opportunities. You can open a marketing and communications agency. Keep on applying for formal work, but also sit down and think about the business you can open. You can also open a UA-cam Channel because you have communication skills, and that way you become a broadcaster. Think wide, think solutioins....
