This blog site is dedicated to complying with the assignments as directed within my capstone class COM480 Communication Studies. The focus of my blog is to present my views relating to Communications. Between work, school, church (choir director of two choirs), being a loctician hair consultant, and my family, I managed to complete my degree in Communication Studies. I hope you’ll be enlightened with my thoughts and ideas relating to various media technologies, dealing with conflict, showing different writing styles and various interactions with my classmates regarding their blogs. Cheers!

Now That You Have Earned Your Communications Degree, What will You do with It?

The question has come up “What do you want to do with your Communications Degree?” 
  Many of my classmates have different career fields in mind. Earning this Communications degree will open the door for many media related opportunities. I already work as a technical writer, but perhaps it is time for a change. Eventually, I’d like to go for the Communications Director position here at work.  I have a side gig working at a music recording company here in San Diego as their contracts and booking administrator.  I fell into this position when I earned my certification at USD for a paralegal in Business Litigation. Contract law was a part of the curriculum, which came in handy. I also have a friend who I’ve known before he was a DJ, who is now the station manager of KURS AM Gospel radio here in San Diego. They are a 24-hr Gospel radio station that has just been voted #1 on the entire West coast. He is excited about my completing this degree. You never know, I just might try my hand at working in the radio station…

Classmate Jody Terry is looking at a variety of choices from Human Resources Administrator, Communications Director, Media Planner, Public Affairs, to Technical Writer. Best of luck to you!

Classmate Darnell Baker’s choices range from Public Relations Specialist, Advertising Account Executive, Technical Writer, to Film Industry (Producer). His choices are artistic, but realistic enough to apply to his current government position.

Classmate Barbara Thompson’s interests ranged from Communications Specialists, Copy Writers, Market Research Analysts, Publications Specialists, to Technical Writers or Technical Communicators. I believe she will do well in any path she chooses to take.
This Communications degree will indeed open many doors to either make a career change, or enhance the career path we currently work in. Best of luck to all!
