Speaking as an experienced TV news producer here...\n\nYou are just starting out. Begin at a small local station or small company, and try everything.\n\nThis will give you the benefit of gaining an understanding of all aspects of the process. Then, you choose a direction to specialize based on what you enjoy the most. I was was a producer who also wrote, did tape editing, and videography. You can do it all (and do it all with skill) if you want to invest the time to learn that much.

Find another job that interest you.  I have a marketing degree and when I graduated in the late 80's there were no jobs.  So, I went in the non-profit, social services area.  There are a lot of people that have jobs that have nothing to do with their degrees.  Just find a job that you like with advancement opportunities.  I use my degree now, for my business and for various volunteer activities that I take part in...Good luck!

Go to the career services office at your college and ask for some suggestions. They can also help you with applications and resumes.

Get an internship in a Public Affairs, Public Information, or Communications office at a museum, a newspaper, or some big corporation. They don't pay much but are great experience. Do everything they ask you to do cheerfully, even xeroxing, and gradually you will learn about everything in the office and also, it's a great foot in the door. Where I work interns frequently get hired at the end of their internships if everyone likes them and they did a good job. Don't be afraid of hard work. You will also be able to see what kinds of jobs there are and figure out which one you'd like--writing press releases, dealing with calls from the public, answering letters from people who write to the company, etc. Good luck!

go to your college career center.  That is what they are there for, to help you with things like this, mock interviews, resume writing, etc.  Good luck!

i know two people in this field and neither has a graduate degree. one majored in communications undergrad and the other marketing. creativity, energy, ability to work well under pressure and good communication skills are what is needed most. talk to a few folks who are doing the job to find out more. linkedin or the ama are options. good luck.

Wow- fluent in sign language? That's great!\n\nI think you would be a great social worker, with a skill like that under your belt! It will help you to be able to communicate with people who may have communication difficulties- not only deaf people, but others who also benefit from visual forms of communication (e.g. people who have intellectual disabilties, or who don't understand English well...).\n\nBecoming a novelist sounds like fun, but consider whether you will need to have a regular income- I think most novelists do something else to support themselves, especially before they have published any books.\n\nTeaching is a very broad area! That might be a great thing to do- because learning is not confined to one area or age group.\n\nYou sound a little bit like me.\nI am motivated to help people, and I love to talk and interact with others. I am also a creative person- I have always loved drawing/writing/making things.\nI found the profession that combines those things nicely for me- I'm studying to become a Speech Pathologist!\n\nThink 'outside the box'- you may find something that you never thought of!\n\nI recommend the "Career Interests Game" on the University of Missouri website.

Business administration is probably the major with the most career opportunities out there! You can work in sales, advertising, marketing, accounting... If you want to work in finance, you probably can work in a bank or as a finance consultant (later)...everything is business and someone with good credentials and a master's degree can make a good living.  As you're a junior now, I don't know if you'll have enough time to take all the required classes to complete your degree. You'll probably going to have to graduate a little later.\nGood luck!

In linguistics you could, of course, continue your higher education, get your PhD and teach.\nIf you stick with a BA in linguistics you could work in any company's dept of communications, public relations and anything that would have to do with words!!\nI say you should study what interests you and from there you can discover all kinds of options available to you as far as a career.\nGood luck!!

You might major in communications, English, drama or journalism, although people who wirte sitcoms had all sorts of college majors. Consider choosing a field which genuinely interest you.

As a college student, try the student union, the school career center, or the local job agencies (check the yellow pages).\n\nHouston is a big city, and you got plenty of options there.

Usually, as others said, communications and journalism. Importantly, though, pick a school that has on-campus tv studios, so you can get involved in those. Also try to do a related internship or co-op. All of that will help you get your first job in this very competitive field.

maybe your line of education isn't really what you want to do.  Are you that major for yourself, or for others?  It's hard to get geared up for a job you don't really have an interest in.  Perhaps you should rethink your major and take stock in where you would like your life to take you.  Or perhaps you should make your own road and take your life along with you.  The key is to be happy doing what you do.  That way your heart is in it.  Good luck with your journey.  And of course, if you can get someone to pay for it, there's always grad school!
