The font of all knowledge, Pearls Before Swine, hits on the reality of schools of communication.
The reality about jobs in the communications field is not a secret. Thinking back to my days at Indiana University, out of my graduating class of 100 maybe ten got jobs working in the communications field — and that includes advertising and farm belt reporting on wheat and hog belly prices. Since that time, the number of colleges offering communications degrees has increased exponentially pumping out tens of thousands of wannabees.
I think the growth of telecommunications, including internet related fields still has jobs for about 10 percent of the graduates.The difference now is more in the pay scale than in the numbers. Back in the day, the ten percent got jobs that could quickly lead to financial viability — positions that paid a living wage. Today, that Master Control starting position is 10 dollars an hour, moving right up to 12, with experience. No wonder the kids aren’t moving out, they can’t.
