Can I be successful with just a BS in Communications?

[Anonymous]

I have a BS in Communications and only freelance experience. I want communications experience in an association or non-profit, but I feel like I'm competing with tons of other people. Should I go back to school and get a master's in something to make me more marketable? Masters in Communications? MPH? Finance? Nonprofit Management?

Or is my education good enough as it is? Should I be focused more on getting experience? I am so lost. Help! I

Are you hot? It's a relevant question.

I went to grad school for Tech Comm. I am very happy I did. Few people have this background.

DD used hers to get into a $50k position a year after graduating. However, I think her appearance was just as important as the degree.

How far out of school are you, and could you consider doing an unpaid (or poorly paid) internship? It would probably be cheaper than going back to school, but still might help you get into a career path. Alternately, are you applying outside the DC area where the market might be less saturated and therefore less competitive?

I had a BS in Marketing and a $30k job 3 years later. I quit and got an MS in Agricultural Communications, was hired straight out of my program, and made $75k a year later. If you go back, find a niche field.

It's a compliment.

Even the young woman's mom said her Dd's attractiveness helped a lot

Why is level of attractiveness more important in communications than in other fields?
