I say Communications is the most useful degree with a smidgen of bias. But that is just because I love my major so much I can’t see how anyone else’s could be better or even as good. This past week I feel in love all over again. I was a career fair that was meant for business students only. But, being the rebel I am, I decided they can’t tell me I can’t go. I went.

While browsing through the crowded rows of booths I stumbled upon one company that looked interesting to me. I got to talking to the representative and found it so easy to build a relationship with him because of all I have learned in my Communication classes. He wasn’t surprised to learn that I was a Communication major because I was an excellent communicator. Even though they were strictly looking for Marketing majors, he asked for an interview with me because he thought my communication skills were a force to be reckoned with.

So, again I say, Communications is the best major. I say this because no matter how many internships, co-ops, shadows, or A’s you have on your resume, people want to hire a person. A person that they can relate to and form a relationship with. A person that they know can then form a relationship with their clients.
