[QUOTE="thevoxhumana, post: 840224, member: 35167"] The Communication Department has different areas of concentration. PR is one of the areas, and several Marketing classes are required for graduation. My particular concentration was Advertising/Copywriting. The thing about Communication degrees is that it can be applied to so many different fields, regardless of concentration. I even know some HR people with degrees in Communication. Knowing that its application could be flexible, that it why I chose it, (that and I decided I didn't have the patience or grammar to be an English teacher). I thought that it would lead to more possible opportunities, but with the job market the way it is, I am not competing with my peers. I am now competing with men and women who have 30 years of experience under their belt and applying for the same jobs and me. I thought being part of a company, and putting my time in would lead to a slow climb to a good position, but like I said: I don't think anyone in the building has even bothered to look at my paperwork and see what I am qualified to do.
