Bad idea to major in English/Mass Communications?

<p>In the fall I'm going to be attending a smaller state college to gain my Associates, and save money, with plans to later on transfer to a larger and more renowned University. I was wanting to major in English (with a possible minor in media studies) or Mass Communications, and go back and get my masters depending on which subject I pursue. I thought both these majors would be useful, seeing as I want to work somewhere within media (promotion/production/writing), but the more I learn about these degrees, the more I seem to notice they are dubbed "useless." What are your opinions?</p>
