What to do with Communication Studies? (post 1)

I have many interests in communication studies. I was immediately drawn to the field in my first semester of schooling at San Jose State. For fun, I enrolled Comm 41 with Tina Lim and I loved the class. Not only did I enjoy the course work but I found out that I was very good at it. I would describe communication studies as the study of verbal and non verbal communication. I include non verbal communication because silence and actions can also be forms of communication. Communication Studies depicts a large variety of topics from politics to media. It also can teach students, such as myself, research skills that last a lifetime. I believe communication studies is the study of language and not languages. It does not count as communication studies when you are studying a certain language such as spanish, french, or even sign language. It is the study of language as a whole and other ways we can use language to persuade, sell, and present. A degree in Communication studies can open many different doors in many different fields. Any job that deals with public relations can be a great fit. It can exemplify strong writing skills, organization, and personal relationships. Another path you may take is marketing or advertising. Marketing or advertising will allow you show of your communication skills by selling or advertising for products or companies. I hope to get into the marketing or advertising fields. I believe it will best serve my skills with communication and research.
