What jobs are out there in the communications field?

What sort of jobs would you land in the Philippines with a degree in Communications? Career advise?

  • This is sort of out of topic for Travels but bear with me here. I am an incoming college Freshman, taking up Communications at UST. Now I really don't know why I chose that program. I just know that English has always been my forte subject. I have no clear goal or dream job in mind after college. I was wondering what sort of jobs would one likely to land with a degree in Communications? To be frank, I am genuinely afraid of ending up as a call center agent. If I want to land a good job at any field in the Philippines, would you advise me to shift into another program? What sort of jobs are in-demand nowadays and what college programs would land me a good job? BTW, I suck at mathematics (which I understand is a vital subject in any college course), and has no computer expertise.

  • Answer:

    Teach English, write and produce English-language shows, programs. and literature for radio, internet, television, and print, or teach communications. Hmmm, so why not study AB English instead? And there is no question that is out of topic for Travel > Asia Pacific > Philippines.

Study what you love. If you really excel in your subject, you will find a job related to the subject material. Do what you love. Some people follow the jobs, study which fields need more people, but your life can quickly turn sour studying something you don't love for years and then doing it for more years. Job markets change over time. It is a gamble to predict which fields will be hiring in four years. Just study what you love. You can always teach.

call centre agent! I suggest you should get a course that makes you professional. Like an English Teacher. Try AB-English! I prefer a profession than career.

Communications graduates are sought after by companies in broadcast media (TV, magazines, newspapers, web media), advertising agencies (as an account executive, as copywriter, as artist, as media manager), and most other companies with active marketing departments (looking for in-house artists, copywriters, media managers, or overall marketing assistants/executives/officers/managers handling advertising, events, promotions, PR, web, etc. for the company). If you are good in written English, you may later consider a job that involves writing - for web content, for magazines, for newspapers, for blogs, for press releases, scripts for event hosting, scripts for news, translations, for annual reports, newsletters, etc. If you are good in spoken English, you may later consider a job that involves public speaking - as a newscaster, as a corporate communications representative, as a marketing executive, etc. Of course, the same skills (both written and spoken) will always be handy in any job, any field of expertise, any career. While you are just about to enter into your freshman year, it is too early to decide if you should shift. On your first year, it's almost always covering basic subjects similar to other courses. On your 2nd or 3rd year is when specialized subjects are introduced, specific to your course. Give it a chance, get a feel and see if you'll enjoy it. Math subject is critical for engineering, architecture, science courses. Computer programming is critical for computer science students but basic computer proficiency is necessary nowadays for every student regardless of course. Communications students may, however, have basics in video editing, graphic design, layout design, photo editing. Before you fret, give it a try, you might as well enjoy it. Some enjoy it so much they decide to become future film directors.
