degree, and can help you attain a successful

do that.

them bulletproof in the future job industry.

7. Communications is necessary.
While some may view Communications a

8. “Communications is the most useful major because
not only does it provide a way for young people to
make in impact worldwide, but also to make an
impact in their everyday lives. They learn to
decipher the messages that advertising puts out
and shields them against false, negative images.
They may be jaded, but at least they are not
easily manipulated. Armed with such knowledge,
communication majors are not easily fooled by
distorted stories and biased presentations.”
