Communication major doing OPT - Help!

I’m graduating from a Californian community college this spring with a communications degree. I would like to do OPT (working experience) right after graduation but I have realised that I need a new adventure and have been thinking about applying for jobs in New York City. A little unrealistic/optimistic dream maybe but I’m playing around with my options right now.

My question is if I as a communications major can apply for set decoration jobs? A very specific job here but I feel very interested in this area and if someone knows anything that’d be great. Any advice on their rents over there is also appreciated (I don’t think the costs will chock me as I’ve paid a fortune on California apartment renting). Thank you!

I assume you are asking if a communications major can apply for a certain job under OPT rules?

That’s a question for the international student center of your university. Your Designated School Official (who maintains your SEVIS record) has the responsibility to decide if a job is related enough to your major to qualify for OPT employment. Since it’s their opinion that matters in the end, they are the best person to ask ahead of time as well.
