<p>Not at all. And don’t you dare put words into my “mouth.”</p>

<p>My point is plain and simple: A major’s worth is not defined by how difficult it is. </p>

<p>If you twist my words for your purposes again I will report you to the mods.</p>

<p>I agree with DougBetsy.</p>

<p>Just because Communication Studies may seem more simple to you, BrownBear, does not mean it is less valuable. Why should a person interested in entering the world of communication - including Public Relations, Radio, Television, Film, or continuing on to law school - take four years of the courses that your narrow mind believes define “college”? They shouldn’t. There is a certain type of person who enters the academic field of Communication, and for them, it is a perfect fit. Within this, do not begin to think it is for those who are less capable.</p>

<p>Next year, I will be attending the School of Communication within Northwestern University. I cannot speak for communication departments within “average” or small, local state schools. However, I do know that my parents’ money will be put to incredible use by gaining me an education in one of the best institutes available for my area of interest.</p>

<p>Do not judge the communication major. Their interests are different from yours. That doesn’t make them less than you.</p>
