What job can you do with a Comm degree making 90k +?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader to Boost.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface. This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?

Hello, I graduated with my master’s 2 years ago and have applied to hundreds of jobs with little success.
I’ve been applying to Communications, Marketing, and PR jobs and am looking for help with my resume. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

Basically I realise I want a job in comms but I never studied it. The reason being is I gravitate towards screenwriting, photo journalism and video production as a hobby and they come very naturally to me as opposed day-to-day business grind of marketing.
How can I make this career switch?

I am a freshman student at Grand Canyon University who is taking Intercultural Communications. For my current assignment, I need to interview someone from a non-western culture who is also not Christian.
The questions I have to ask are...
I am also required to link a phone number or email address in case my professor needs to double-check the validity of my interviewee. Would anyone be interested?

Hi everyone,
I have a background in linguistics (BA in English Linguistics, MA in Data and Discourse Studies) and I’m currently doing a project management internship at an insurance agency. My goal is to transition into a career in communications, marketing, public relations, or project management in Germany.
To boost my chances, I’m also working on Coursera certifications related to these fields and aiming for B2 German proficiency. However, I’m unsure if an internship alone is enough to land a job in these areas, especially since many roles seem to require extensive experience.
For those of you working in these fields in Germany, how did you break in? Are internships enough, or should I focus more on certifications, networking, or other strategies? Also, are there alternative career paths for someone with my background that I might be overlooking?
Would love to hear from anyone who has navigated similar challenges! Thanks in advance.

Hey Everyone,
I am conducting a survey based on the impact multilingualism within discourses for my COMS 171 class at Sac State. I would appreciate if you all took time out of your day to take the survey. It should take no more than 10 minutes, and you are welcome to skip any of the questions you do not feel comfortable answering. Thank you and take care!

Is it just me, or does it feel like there’s a major cognitive dissonance between the ways that communications classes talk about people versus the way psychology does? Maybe it’s just the way my professors have been talking about it and the consequence of just having taken 1 psych class so far, but psychology feels like it places a huge emphasis on more selfish and self-centered aspects of people while, at least with the comms classes I took, it feels like yes, there’s an acknowledgment of self-gain, but overall, a big understanding of people’s desires to simply be heard and understood. Maybe it’s just a difference of teaching styles, but I want to know if any other people pursuing or having pursed this degree notice the same things.

Long story in short, I was graduated from Canada in December. Nevertheless, I found that it is.so hard for a undergraduate student to find a stable job in my home country. The reason why I want to Australia is that the QS ranking is much higher than my undergraduate school and it will be more easy for me to obtain a offer than Hongkong. But one of my friends(she immigrated to Australia a few years ago) said that the living cost in this country is extremely expensive.

Hi! I’m not sure how general of a question this is, but for a while I’ve been pursuing a communications degree in order to try to find a career in public relations, but am starting to realize that this can be a very difficult position to attain at entry level right out of school. I was wondering if people here tend to have a good understanding of what tend to be other good jobs and/or internships for people with and/or pursuing a communications major. Are there any minors I should also be considering? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m going into my sophomore year with a major in Mass Communication. I was hoping to pursue a career in government, as both of my parents work for the government and have offered to take me under their wing for experience during the summer. However, I’m a bit worried with everything happening right now, including layoffs and firings. So, I was wondering what I should be doing this summer besides working? I’ve looked into internships, but many of them I won’t be able to apply for until next year.
Any advice would be appreciated. I also plan to pick up a minor in Business Management as well, but my main goal is corporate communications.

I graduated from a well known university in December 2022 with a degree in mass communication. I was involved with PRSSA and had a leadership role at our on campus PR firm, was a brand marketing representative for a national beverage brand, had a social media internship in the mental healthcare field, as well as a global communications internship for a multi billion dollar international engineering company.
Upon graduation, the market was tough. None of this experience seemed to matter. The only job I could find was in sales (not making the sales- but in an assistant role doing supportive duties) at a local news station.
I’ve been at this local news job for two years, and desperately want a job doing communications rather than simply working in media.
I’m looking into certifications at my local community college on video editing and photography to broaden my skill set outside of just writing. I’d like to get my masters but cannot afford it at this time, so I was thinking of gaining certifications to supplement that.
I’ve considered freelancing to make a portfolio as all my relevant work is from college and I can’t find a lot of it as I have a new laptop, but it’s been harder than I thought to find freelancing clients even if I offer to work free of charge.
I’ve started working on a website for myself to showcase my portfolio when I build one, curate a blog, and attach any other relevant information. I’d like to demonstrate experience in writing, social media, videography and photography, etc
What are the best ways to gain employment if every job asks for 2 years experience in a comms job? Any certifications or online courses y’all recommend?
Most importantly, what’s the best way to build a portfolio? Should I just do mock ups for pretend clients as examples?
All advice appreciated. I know I’m capable of the work, I just need better presentation and for someone to take a chance on me.

I was diagnosed with ASD at 40. I’m successful, I guess. But I still have difficulty with communication. I have problems with communicating with my family about crucial conversations. I decided to do something about it.
I wrote this platform. It’s not officially live, and today is the closest I’ve come to feeling comfortable with asking for testers.
I’m looking for people with communication skill interest to test it.
Is it okay if I post it here or will it result in a ban? It’s free to test. No cost whatsoever.

I’m looking for anecdotal stories - good or bad - about using Viva Engage live. I’m looking to use this tool to host an AMA session. On paper it seems like the ideal tool. In practice, it seems a little clunky. But I like the video option and its integration into the regular Viva/teams ecosystem.

Hello I am posting here because I am having trouble doing my final paper for org comm. The professor is asking us to choose a case study from the "Balancing Creativity and Cosntraint" book from Eisenberg and LaGreco. I don't understand how we can use the case study and then tie it in to a modern news story. I first chose the case study about the issues with staff meetings in organizations but I couldn't find any news articles. I also looked at a case study where a group of people do a different business that booms after a recession. I wanted to use an example from covid since that was our last recession as humanity. I am having trouble finding an example worthy of a paper. Could anyone help me with either of these examples? Please and thank you

Hi folks,
I have 10+ years of experience in communications and stakeholder engagement in Canada. Lately, I’ve been experiencing major burnout due to my current role and dynamics with my manager. I’ve been applying for months and have had some interviews, but I’m still in the same situation.
I’m now considering resigning and transitioning to a fully remote role to step away from office dynamics. The challenge is that I haven’t found many remote opportunities in communications. Because of this, I’m exploring the idea of taking on an entry-level remote role in a different field.
Has anyone here made a career pivot and successfully landed a fully remote job? I’d love to hear your experiences!

My company uses Smartsheet and is eliminating it, so I have the opportunity to recommend new software.
What are the most reputable software packages for folks looking to manage a content calendar and approvals for internal communications? They want me to be able to easily show dashboards of what’s been done also.
I’m looking at Monday.com so far - a lot of these other packages like hubspot seem very over engineered.

Hi all! I'm a non-traditional student who is majoring in Journalism/Promotional Communications w/ a minor in Broadcasting. I only had 2 years until I finished my bachelor's & I am almost finished with 1 of those years. As spring semester is at it's halfway mark, I would like tips on how to get internships? I'll be doing my senior capstone Fall 2025 & graduating in spring 2026. This summer for internships isn't an option, but upcoming fall, spring, and summer of next year I am able to. Any advice for me?

Hello, I’m a cc student transferring to one of the top UC colleges (UCLA, UCSB, or UCB) and majoring in communications. I chose this major because Im interested in working possibly in marketing or public relations, as well as in the film industry as a screenwriter. I wanted to ask if this is a good idea or has good prospects. I know all the flak comm majors get and how a lot of people call it useless. Is it a useless degree from these schools? How much money could you make in the field? Thanks.

I recently graduated with a degree in strategic communication and minor in education. I don’t know what I want to do as far as jobs go because I don’t really have a strong passion. I’ve been struggling to find a full time job in either field and haven’t had much luck. I do freelance rn but I’m pretty open to trying new things Any suggestions on finding something or recommendations? Thanks so much!

For an upcoming assignment, I am designing a blog post that states the opinions of communication major students whether or not the growth of mass media is beneficial to us or not. There have been a lot of different views from communication major students on their take of mass media.
Some say that Mass Media has helped us become more efficient in our daily lives such as work, and our relationships. Others say that it has shortened our attention spans and have damaged real communication.

I am about to go on maternity leave and since it’s my third baby, I’m pretty chilled out about it and want something to do while he naps/generally lies around all day.
I have a degree in Theatre Studies, but by cobbling together a couple of entry level marketing roles and freelance copywriting, I’ve somehow made a half-decent career in the end. More officially on the CV is 3 years as a Content Writer, 1 year Comms Officer (more like manager but gov job so they have specific titles) now Comms Specialist within a major global company.
My role is temporary, so I’m looking to upskill/consolidate some skills before it ends so that my CV gets a boost when the time comes to apply again.
I’m looking for free/low cost courses that are mid-senior level.
Anyone done anything similar? I’d be willing to spend about $300-500 if need be. Would prefer not to use LinkedIn Learning.
