Some career options to look into that are on the higher-paying end are:
Project Management
Product Management
Business Operations
If you enjoy communicating with people on a daily basis, you might also want to look into Recruiting, especially within the Tech field.

You might also consider marketing or PR jobs! This would significantly open up your options - any company you can think of will have marketing / PR departments. Your degree will not only be a good base of information & experience for jobs in this department, but you could also layer your personal interests to find a job you truly love. For example, you could work for a food & beverage company in their marketing department. You could consider doing a media measurement job or a PR for a creative agency. Hope this is helpful!

Layna,
Excellent question, but if you're a student, the answer is that you would likely start at a modest salary. In fact, this is not a field to enter if your goal is a high-paying job. You can certainly make a decent living if you're talented and work hard.
The highest-paying jobs in this field are either on-camera TV talent, or the execs running a media company. But in both of those cases, you'd be working at a "starter" salary for at least five, if not ten years or more.
This is something you do because it's "in your blood". For example, the reason I'm answering your question is because I enjoy communicating! Best of luck to you: the best piece of advice I can give is to set a goal for yourself and go for it. If you really want it, you'll get there!
