International studies vs Communications major?
Which major would be more marketable?

Generally : I have a passion for writing and meeting people. No office jobs for me! :stuck_out_tongue:

I like international studies cause I love learning about other cultures and languages, plus travelling. This degree would allow me to study abroad as exchange. I plan to take it with a journalism minor as one of my dreams is to be a travel journalist, or any journalist actually.

On the other hand my creative side has always been facisnated by broadcasting and I would love to do jobs on tv producing, hosting, script-writing etc. Would a communications degree be neccessary to enter this field?

Though overall, which major would give more opportunities? :open_mouth: i would love to to hear from anyone experienced in this line of work

At what college?
The job opportunities essentially rest on you - what’s your GPA, how good are you at your current foreign language and what level have you reached (can you imagine taking up a second one?)… and on the college (career center, alumni network, ease of getting internships).
For work in communications, internships matter more than a degreee, except in specific programs from specific schols.
