I plan on minoring in creative writing at whatever college I attend, however, I hope to major in something that will allow me to get a job after college. Are there any specific majors that would be a good fit with the minor? Or should I just pick something else I am interested in?
Finance, marketing, public relations, journalism, economics.
I would recommend Marketing, Public Relations, even Psychology. In today’s digital marketing world corporations require excellent bloggers/content writers, social media marketers, public relations personnel, event planners/coordinators etc. All of these careers rely on excellent communication skills and an understanding of how to emotionally and psychologically “connect” with the customer/audience. Even in business to business Marketing you need to create a “relationship” with your potential customers. Marketing in all its forms requires keen writing skills and a creative mind…it might be an excellent match for your Creative Writing Major.
Edited to add: I am a Marketing Specialist at a Global corporation :).
