In my school every freshman was required to take communications 101.

As a neurodivergent person who's never understood social cues, it was like how to human 101. It was one of my favorite classes, and my professor, who had her doctorate in communications is still one of my favorite professors

@@not.a.bot. I mean, different fields are important for the sake of general knowledge, but economic marketability is pretty much the most important part of picking a college degree because this level of education tends to lead you towards jobs that pay at least in the high 5-fig range (at least $70,000 a year), which is more than the average trade at $40K-$50K, you have to worry about the student loans you'll have to pay back right after, and (if you do want to do this) have proper financial resources to raise your future family so that your children don't grow up with a lack of resources that you end up being the subject of a college essay as to why your kid grew up poor. At the end of the day, your main goal to going to university is to get a better paying career than your average trade, and if you're not here for that, you're wasting time and money and honestly would be better off going to trade school realistically; sure there's only certain trades that can make at least $70K a year (also company dependent), but at least they're not crippled in student debt and have a hard skill that can be of use in the private sector.

As someone who graduated with a Comm Degree and Masters in Corporate Communications I’m actually a little taken aback by this lol the main issue our world has is people’s lack of ability to communicate with each other in real time and build rapport and relationships because of social media. As a Comm major I learned about human psychology, body language, double talk, manipulative dialogue, public perception vs reality and how to counteract that, as well as how to interview, which my professor would videotape in class so we could see re-watch ourselves so we could understand our answers from a Hiring Managers perspective. I learned life skills that allowed to me understand the world I was going into. Since then I’m now a Sr. National Account Executive for a large IT Consulting company and make over six figures because of what my professors prepared me for. That sort of judgment without any knowledge or understanding is exactly why society at large is falling into a downfall spiral and will continue to do so until people start waking up and stop relying on technology so much to communicate for us and be vulnerable and put yourself our there and start understanding each other and building genuine relationships again.

People wouldn’t be getting manipulated into scams or tax fraud, and would be better at interviewing for their jobs, which being in IT Sales there are an alarming amount of people that do not know how to interview well.

I wrote so many papers, worked with real companies, and came up with marketing strategies and media plans for them. The major itself has nothing to do with it, it’s what YOU make of it.

You can find the cure for cancer, you can find the key to end global warming, but if you don't know how to sell that to an audience, there's no point. To add on, Comms is also about how to handle the press, countering negative news about your company, and how to put your company/product/yourself in a better light. There are technical things to know when it comes to social media, articles that we put on newspapers, press conference and even speeches that we write for VIPs - all of which will lead to a better rep for you/your company, which means better sales, which means more money. Heck, even your favourite celebs & influencers most certainly have a Comms team with them. And it's 90% because of the Comms team that you are a fan of said celeb. So yeah, don't bash us because we're probably the reason you're a huge fan of something important in your life.

I majored in human communications and it has helped me in my interpersonal relationships and professionally everyday...People are generally awful listeners and miss details others try to say. I went down multiple pathways with my degree from mental health, restaurant administration, and hr/payroll. I was able to beat out others with specific degrees and it was nailing interviews and being able to make a connection in 15 minutes. You're trained at positions so you generally just need to stand out in interviews. I don't have one specific interest and I chose communications so I could change careers when it fit my growth best. Are you the same person you were 10 years ago when you graduated? I am happier for it and I wonder how well those agreeing with it being the dumbest major listen to their peers/families.

Although I’m alry working a couple of years in following my comms degree, the comments section still gives me hope about my major. Sometimes ppl really do think that comms is just common sense and I would be doubting the years I’ve spent in university even at this juncture, but when they need to pitch an event or promote a cause or write sensitively about / amidst certain issues (among several things), that’s when I realise people do not know what they’re talking about. In the broadest sense, comms would entail managing relations and perceptions and if you dont have any form of comms mindset or framework, you’re not going to successfully convey any message to anyone, let alone to the right people.

That being said, you don’t have to go to college to learn all the stuff you would learn in this major. However, you could say the same thing for any profession. You could just study in a library. But, people would rather have proof that their doctor understands the medical field just like a studio would rather have proof their gaffers understand how lighting works. Time is money.
