The best jobs in the new information society- in virtually every industry- will be filled by workers who can READ, WRITE, COMPUTE, COMMUNICATE, and THINK.

A recent survey asked professionals to list "things students can do to get a job in the communications field."  The top four responses were:
* Develop public speaking skills, computer (keyboarding) skills, and networking skills.
* Compete with campus debate/forensics teams or Toastmasters.
* Get involved with the campus radio/TV stations or newspaper.
* Work as a paraprofessional in campus offices such as admissions, orientation, leadership, career services, health & wellness, public information, etc.

Many occupations today require a college educated individual who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new information quickly and work well with others on a team.  This means that college graduates use their education in a wide variety of fields, and your future career may relate more to your personal career interests, work values and transferable skills than any specific academic major.  However, the following list contains a representative sample of job titles of former graduates with a Communications major.  Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some, but  certainly not all, of the careers you might consider.

Students obtaining employment immediately upon graduation are usually those with the best college records and a    willingness to relocate to find a job.  Some of these jobs also require education beyond a Bachelor's degree.
