Major: Communications (This Major's Salary over time)
I jumped majors a few times, which cost me. Spent the most time in the Business school and ended up finishing with Media Communication. The business school is very cut throat when it comes to grades, quizes, tests, etc. They also don't leave much room for you to get a minor. I ended up switching to Media Communication, which is a near joke of a major. I only did it to finish in 4 years which my parents were really pressing since it didn't require much credit hours. If you're interested in working for T.V. this might be sufficient, but if you're seriously planning on the film industry, look elsewhere or transfer now. The department has outdated equipment and doesn't encourage you to go the extra mile. In fact, some of the students in the class that tried to step it up, ended up being bashed for it.

But to sum it up, don't waste your education money just to get your degree and don't take blow off classes just to get good grades. You really have to think about where you're going to be after you graduate.
