Media and Communications
The new media are everywhere! They're in your home, in your workplace, and in the classroom. From entertainment and news to education and training, these communication technologies affect our day-to-day lives in ways we couldn't have imagined just 10 years ago.
Because of this tremendous growth, employment prospects in the fields of digital film-making, digital television production and engineering, video gaming, new media journalism, advertising and public relations, and instructional technology are at an all-time high and are only expected to continue growing.
Most media and communication jobs require a college degree preferably in a communications-related field. Many positions such as those in video game production and design, television production, film production, etc. require a specialty degree. The value of earning these degrees in a four-year college or university is in the broad-based liberal arts education you'll receive. Employers want graduates who are trained to think, not just trained to operate equipment, and it's the critical thinking skills you'll gain that will allow you to adjust to new technologies in the future.
Even though these fields are growing, the job market is competitive because so many people are attracted to these occupations. Graduates with related experience, a high level of creativity, strong communication skills, and computer skills should have the best job opportunities.
