Does a Major Limit Your Opportunities?

College Majors

<p>I ask because I attend an art/design school and my major will be fashion design. My issue with fashion design is that I don't know how employers that aren't necessarily hiring a designer, look at a degree in fashion.</p>

<p>For example if i wanted to go into a career in advertising or public relations or maybe even wokring for a magazine, would a d egree in fashion design be looked upon it negatively?</p>

<p>I mean the ideal thing would be to major in communication design, but for me it's like fashion is what i want to major in now. it's not necessarily what i want to pursue a career. I just don't want to be limited by the whole you're a fashion designer, and that's the only thing you can do.</p>

<p>So i guess if i wanted to pursue a masters degree in a field unrelated to fashion, but that can still open up doors in other industries in case i get bored or dont want to be in the fashion industry, what major would that be?</p>

<p>ummm..i think that you should continue your fashion makor but get a masters degree (or two) maybe your MBA (that always leaves many doors wide open) and a masters degree in communication/journalism (magazine, newspaper, or broadcast?) would be good from what i read above (your intrests and carrer intentions) Good luck!</p>

<p>that's what i was thinking, to pursue a masters in either communications(public relation/journalism) but preferarbly in Business! Although I know MBA's require work experience, and I"m not sure if fashion Design experiance would count, or if they'd take my fashion design degree seriously.</p>

<p>do masters programs in communication immediately take in graduating undergrads or would you need experiance as well?</p>
