What are your career hopes after college as a communications major? Some students end up working at their alma mater while others hope to snag a job at a television station, digital newspaper or entertainment company.
Senior Markiera Saunders is studying communications with a track in media production. She hopes to become a singer and capture her journey by recording videos of it.
“My career interest is to be a music artist and beyond that in the future to create amazing video content, documentaries, sitcoms,” said Saunders. “[I want to create] things of that sort.”
She spoke on how many of the modern rappers and singers have used social media to advance their careers. Some of those artists include: Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Soulja Boy.
Sophomore communications major Ryland Crisman with a track in multimedia production has some fears of the future.
“There’s a very big chance that the biggest thing you’ll end up doing is covering the parade at a local t.v. station or something,” said Crisman. “I guess my biggest fear for the profession would just be not having a lot of upward mobility or not being able to achieve as much or have as many opportunities as I would like.”
