[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In later life, communications majors may be dated. Many of my female friends who majored in communications have had to go back to get teaching degrees or change after being laid off in their 40s. I majored in English and took a number of communications courses as electives. T[b]raditional majors are helpful for a lifetime, job based majors are only helpful for as long as those jobs are available [/b]or as long as you are deemed young enough to do those jobs. [/quote] I don't understand this. There are no "English" jobs available. Presumably an English major is valuable because it develops skills that could be beneficial in the workplace. But wouldn't a Communications degree develop this same skills, in fact, I would think it would even more so than an English degree. [/quote]
