There are many jobs you could get.  Probably for about 4 different types of organizations:\n1) Service Providers (like Verizon, Bell South, etc)\nAt a serive provider, you could be involved in jobs like network planning, operations, even marketing or business management type jobs\n\n2) Equipment Manufacturers (Like Lucent, Nortel, Huawei, etc)  At equipment manufacturers, you could be involved in jobs such as Product Management, Product Development, Research and Development, Program Management, Project Management, Field Services, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Network Support, RF Engineering, Network Engineering, etc.\n\n3) Consulting (such as McKinsey, Bain, etc).  You could go work for a consulting company.  Very often consulting firms have some sort of a Telecom/Datacom practice, where they'll count on someone with your type of knowledge/experience to support projects for Service Providers or Manufacturers.\n\n4) Teaching.  You could become a teacher/professor at a College or University.\n\nOf course, there are even jobs outside of these that you could get involved with that would use your knowledge and experience, such as Equity Research covering Telecommunications (at a firm such as Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs) or at a Market Research firm (such as IDC, Pyramid Research, InStat Research, etc.)\n\nGood Luck!

I got a visual arts media degree. I started working as a customer support rep at a software company now i'm an instructional designer for a govenment contractor. My advice is to study anything you are really interested in studying and don't not do it becuase you think you're not going to get a great job. The job will come as soon as you find something you really love.

Go for general studies first. What do you like to do. If you dont like math, then I hope you can write. Careers are full of one or the other. I am no good in math and decided to be a Mass Communications major specializing in Strategic Public Relations. In other words I make companies and people look good. Interested?

Communications is primarily used to enter into the the mass communications and marketing industries.  \n\nThe "generic" jobs using this are radio, television and public relations. \n\nHowever, this is not to say that this is your only avenue.  There are literally billions of jobs out there and somebody does each and every one of them.  It may surprise you, but not everyone "does" their major for a living - especially for liberal arts majors like communications.  But the key is to do what you enjoy, not be blindsided by ignorance and take pride in building your own life. \n\nA good way to know what is out there is to get informational interview. Ask people what they do, what their typical work day is like, what they like and dislike about their jobs and how they got the job.  I went through dozens of informational interviews before I got my first job so that I went in with my eyes wide open.  As opposed to job interviews, people are usually flattered and very open to talking to college students when asked for an informational interview.  Just ask for 30 minutes and it will return volumes in experience.

You will probably have to get a BS degree in either Journalism, Communications, or possibly English and that will take around 4 years.  I would find a local newspaper and talk to the editor, if possible and find out if you can do an internship or possibly some part time work, which may help youw hile you complete your degree.

I happen to be a communications major myself.  I have been out of school for 3 years now.  I have always been in sales.  I have excellent communications skills and my degree helped me sharpen all of those skills.  However I have very high stress levels, because no matter how much a sell one week, it all starts over the next week at 0.  I do beleive that comm degrees are the easiest degrees to get and do not mean much to an employer.\n\nSome of the jobs available are:\nRadio, newspaper, etc\npublic relations\nthen your general jobs that require a college education.\n\nI would suggest you go where the moneys is!!!  The medical industry is full of money and only growing.  Advertising and marketing are great sources for money too.  There are a ton of sales positions as long as you are outgoing and energetic.\n\nGood luck!

You need to take communication arts in college.  You must have a nice, clear voice and speak properly and be able to maintain a straight face while reporting the news.

I will be graduating with a degree in political science and entering public relations in entertainment, in may of 2006.  The bottom line is this, in a competitive field like public relations, what matters most is your experience.  Since you're looking for top 25 programs, you must have the GPA and high school resume to go to almost any school, so here's my advice:\n\n1) Pick a school in an area with corporations and businesses. \n2) Pick a school that has internship connections with these corporations.  !!!NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN INTERNSHIPS!!!\n\nThere's a debate in the industry whether or not a degree specific to PR even matters.  Some companies seek out liberal arts majors for PR jobs because they usually have better writing abilities and an overall better understanding of the world.  My advice, pick a major you love rather than one you think will accesorize a resume well, and write, write, write.  There's a lot of writing in this field.  Best of luck to you.

You didn't mention your area of concentration, but a business degree is probably one of the most versatile degrees you can earn. Find something you are interested in and start applying. Most colleges and universities have tests which might help you to decide on a career path. These tests are usually available at no charge to students. One is called the strong test. It is basically a preferences test. Since you recently graduated, they may be able to give you one of them and provide some guidance. With your degree, you could get into a management or leadership track with any number of retailers or fast food restaurants. Pay with many of these programs is pretty good. Depending on your area of interest you may consider Home Depot, Lowes, McDonalds, Wendy's, Walmart, Kmart or Sears. This is only a short list of those companies who are most likely to have management track programs for those with a college degree. Most of these companies have a website which should provide information on career opportunities. Some other areas you may consider are transportation and logistics. Trucking companies are always in need of dispatchers and operations people. Warehousing is a growing area and there are a lot of opportunities available. Advertising agencies and public relations agencies are another area where you could utilize your degree. Ad agencies have opportunities for media buyers, research, billing and accounting and other operations functions. PR agencies will use people in dealing with media, newsletters, etc.,

Check out the link below.  Common industries for people with Education degrees include educational publishing, corporate training and counseling.  You might want to consider adult education as well (it's nice to teach people who are in class voluntarily).

Marketing and Communications are pretty different fields.  Marketing is generally a business degree and it's taught in the college of business, whereas communications is an arts degree.  \n\nDo a search for good business schools.  US News & World Report puts rankings out every year.
