Is finding a job pretty easy with a communications major at Michigan?

<p>That's what I'm interested in and I'm an extremely hard worker</p>

<p>You’ll have to network quite a bit to get a job with a communications major at any college.</p>

<p>Yeah, finding a job with a communications degree from any school is difficult. Of the several people I know with a comm. degree, only one is working in their desired field at the moment, and of those who aren’t, one went to NYU and another went to UPenn. It’s not a very good market.</p>

<p>This is not to say that you can’t do it. Main thing, in school work hard and have a practical eye for the future. Find a niche.</p>

<p>I agree that it is important to network. The job market 4 years from now may be entirely different from what it is today.</p>

<p>Communications + major covers a pretty wide swath of “stuff” and just about every industry employs communication, PR or marketing comunications personnel so not sure what you intended with this comment. The very few kids that I’ve known that went to UofM for communications (instead of the more traditional J schools or schools known for broadcast journalism) tended to end up in the more analytical jobs - data mining, media analysis, etc. Many kids that end up in PR/Communications/MarComm jobs aren’t "communication’ majors. OP what specifically are you interested in?</p>

<p>In general, if you wish to enter a business through the communications door get involved with the Daily, take any internships in PR or Communications or Marketing you can, make sure you are up to speed on social media and write, write, write, for anyone you can.</p>

<p>I agree with keeping up on social media. A number of organizations offering internship opportunities are looking for help with social media.</p>
