What is your advice?
I'm going to pursue communication and media in the future. At first, I wanted to become a therapist but it is not popular in my country, so I changed. How can I develop myself in mixture and those two majors?

Decide what you want to do first and pursue this dream fully. Make a decision and follow this path. Best of luck.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer this.

OW, this is an odd one. Two very different paths. For one if therapist is not popular in your country and that is your #1 dream them you may have to move. If you are unable to make a move because of family or other reasons communication and media is your choice. There are plenty of opportunities in that area. Remember you can pursue the com/media and get that job while also continuing school for therapist. Its never a bad thing to have multiple degrees.
Thank you for the advice, Joseph.

Hello My An,
There's many different career paths to take as a communications/media major. I would say the most important thing to do is to start reflecting on what types of hobbies/careers sound interesting to you, or that make you happy! As a communications major myself, I knew that I wanted to work in a role that allowed me to speak with a lot of people. (I work as a recruiter now and speak with tons of new people daily)
Does social media sound interesting to you? Do you enjoy writing? Public speaking? Do you enjoy working with kids? Because you are choosing such a broad major, you can take different courses to see what you enjoy. I've seen many communication majors receive jobs in marketing, recruiting and sales.
Begin to think about something you want in a career first, then search for roles that would require/involve that.
