Is Communications in Media a good major choice?

I am interested in working with social media sites and creating content or helping create content that people would enjoy. I'm concerned because I don't know how great of a career I could get. It seems like everything I want to do doesn't end up well. I would probably have a minor in sociology to better understand people and the best marketing strategies are. However, I love English and don't want to give that up. I'm also concerned that this major is impacted, and it would be difficult to get good jobs. My mother happens to be in advertising for Kroger, so she told me this would be a good choice, but I'm not sure it’s what I personally want to do. I know companies like Buzzfeed, Cosmopolitan, or even being in advertising departments for companies seems like something I would like, but I feel like I would want to create more impactful and meaningful articles/projects. Journalism also interested me, but these days it seems like you can’t find an article that isn’t insanely biased or fake. I would most likely enjoy anything in the arts. There are other majors that i were thinking about though. Nursing seems great, but I hate math and chemistry. I wanted to be a therapist, but it's a dice roll on your salary. I feel like there's always going to be a hint of doubt in whatever I choose, so I'm trying to not be stressed about it. I am just very conflicted on what I should do.

  1. I wouldn't say that communications in media is a bad choice simply because the world of media is something that is growing constantly and will continue to grow in the future as technology continues to advance. Just something to take into consideration.

  2. I always viewed communications as a great major. There are many different careers and options that come with that degree.
