Before becoming a Communication studies major, I had thought that Communications was just communicating different topics to people, largely through public speaking.  I have been learning though that it is not just speaking, it can include different things like research communicating and business communicating.  Almost anything applies to Communication studies. Communication studies bring an integral skill to all individuals because if you do not know how to communicate effectively, it will be hard for people to understand or take you seriously.  Whether for a job interview or a presentation in front of an audience, these skills will be extremely helpful. 

I am in the beginning stages of my communications, but what I would like to get out of this degree is to become a better speaker and communicator.  I believe with these tools it will open a lot of doors in searching for a career.  I have not done much research into the different types of careers that come with being a Communications major yet, but I believe it will help me in many different areas of organizations.  My dream job would be to become a Sports Center broadcaster, but I would also like to consider management positions in a variety of organizations.  In these areas of work you need to be able to communicate to your peers and employees, and that is where Communications studies will really help me to become successful.
