[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a communication/marketing major, just graduated.

He has a ton of friends that did the same.

They have various jobs with Discovery, ESPN. They also got jobs  as recruiters and jobs in finance.

They learn to think and write.

There is digital media which is interesting… every marketing firm now needs to analyze their digital data.

If she can write technical writing pays well and you don’t have to be technical.[/quote]

what school[/quote]

Emerson[/quote]

Mediocre major at a mediocre school seems very risky, but some people have to gamble.

[/quote]

Lol! Okay, Yea seems like the gamble has paid off for his friends.

He’s in graduate school for free. A few are in England doing a master and the rest have solid jobs.[/quote]

Some people may get lucky, but on the average looking depressing

"Journalism majors who earn their bachelor's degree from Emerson go on to jobs where they make a median salary of $33,900 a year. This is higher than $30,000"

Even with grad degree

"Journalism majors graduating with a master's degree from Emerson make a median salary of $35,000 a year"

My god, you’re tiresome. Are you even employed because you’re all over this forum making fun of people who major in what interests them instead of what makes the most money. Are you an unemployed finance bro wannabe?  [/quote]

It's a good information and reality people need to know when making decisions.
That is in fact an important function of this forum.

who says it's "GOOD" information? It's BS and you've been called out several times.  not everyone is going to be a lawyer, doctor, dentist, fireman or engineer and what you cannot seem to understand is that most of the world is not and there are jobs that enable those other jobs which pay VERY well. I am not talking about trash people or McDonalds workers. Even the nonprofit sector, if you work your way up to a leadership position, you're making a very comfortable living and working in a mission oriented field.   There's a job out there for everyone and all degrees. Some degrees may not directly and clearly relate to the job someone has, but the learning they had along the way to that major has enabled them to be successful in their job.[/quote]

WTF expected salary for chosen major and career field is not good information?
People like you make the student loan problem a national crisis, and beg for debt forgiveness.[/quote]

BTW since you mentioned "people like me", I am paying 100% of my kids college education as it was paid for me (gasp liberal arts degree) by my parents. So no I am not contributing to any student loan debt crisis nor would I ask for forgiveness. But I also know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there are tons of great jobs with great salaries out there for all kinds of majors.

Case in point, I just had a 2022 grad with a leadership or communications degree or something like that from a good but not top school, turn down my $60K entry level salary, telling me she has other offers in the $75-80K range. Ok so yeah that is less than the SDE at Amazon are starting at, but hardly minimum wage.  I hire people for a living and I know what people are making with what degrees more than average folks on the board.[/quote]
