Print journalism, public relations, media production, broadcast journalism, communication studies… one thing that unites us comm majors are the utterly idiotic responses we get to our major. I guess people think that news, movies, TV, advertisements and press coverage all make themselves.

1. "Interesting."

It is, which is why I'm studying it. Thanks for the enthusiasm.

2. "So what exactly are you going to do with that degree?"

Whatever job I'd like, really??

3. "Communications? Isn't that super easy?"

How about you try writing all my papers or spend a couple hours editing this video, then let me know what you think.

4. "So you want to be on the news?"

You know, communications majors can be more than just on-air news reporters. Thanks for trying, though.

5. "Will you even be able to find a job?"

I can be a writer, news anchor, published critic, filmmaker, television producer, editor, in the marketing or advertising field... so yeah, I will.

6. "Communication jobs don't pay well, though."

As we established... comm majors make the world go round... so I'll be just fine.

7. "Oh, so you're a good writer. Will you look at my paper for me?"

So now you appreciate my talents.
