I like how your avatar now has the exact same facial expression as how I picture you pondering your response!
Maybe it’s because “Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey” just takes too damn long.
But you wouldn’t say that either, I don’t think. “Rutgers” is fine. I mean, if you’re going to qualify it, wouldn’t you use the branch campus? “Rutgers University, NJ” just seems odd to me.
I don’t recommend it, but you could apply to law school with a Communications degree. My undergrad was in theatre, which pretty much qualifies one to wait tables. enter the military at a paygrade of E-3 rather than E-1, or go to law school. I did all of those, in that order.
I was mostly being facetious, but it’s possible someone not from the East Coast would know where Rutgers is located. I’ve definitely seen smaller state schools have the state appended at the end (Clarion, PA is one that I can think of off the top of my head). I wouldn’t put this at the top of my reasons to question the communication skills of op.
Do you mean buying or starting up a newspaper or radio station or television station, or do you mean an advertising firm, or some combination?
I’m reading the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber and this theme comes up a lot. Mike Rowe is incorrect about those jobs being “irrelevant”. Or I should say, he is correct about them being irrelevant, but that doesn’t mean they are going away any time soon. The fastest growing sector of the economy is “information jobs”. “Random-ass” jobs in project management, vaguely-defined consulting and business jobs. Most of these jobs don’t “do” anything or really require any skills beyond effectively communicating what you (or whoever or whatever you are representing) is purporting to actually “do”.
In that sense, Mike Rowe is very much correct. As society becomes better educated and most actual work gets automated away, we are slowing turning down our noses and people who actually do real work - people directly responsible for making stuff or even service jobs that actually deal with real customers making real purchases. Everyone wants to go to law or business school to become bankers, corporate lawyers, consultants, account reps or middle managers.
There’s a reason the job placement agency I’ve been working with has never talked about updating skills once and instead focused entirely on polishing up our resumes, building our “personal brand” on LinkedIn and focusing on “networking” and “relationship building”. The reason is that corporate people don’t have “skills”. They hire out for them. It’s far more important to maintain an air of “impressiveness” than to actually do impressive things. Something that has never really sat right with me, probably because I was originally a structural engineer by training and occupation. Something you can’t really “bullshit” that does actual work that can’t be faked.
30 years ago a communications degree was a joke degree for jocks to meet their scholarship compliance and for cheerleaders to meet jocks to marry. Now I imagine it’s probably decent preparation for a lucrative Director of Social Media job.
Whatever degree the OP may or may not have, they should avoid any career that involves writing or communicating clearly in the English language.
What type of degree, and what did you major in? This would let us know what might work for you.
You mean, was it a Communication major or the school of Communication (and bachelor’s vs master’s,etc.) ?
I mean Rutgers has a variety of undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
Here’s a serious suggestion for the OP. Get a job selling a complex product or service that requires a lot of customer contact. People think you need a technical background to sell complex products. That’s completely wrong - what a salesperson needs is to grasp the basics (which any kind of college degree should prepare you to do), then hold the customer’s hand as they go through the shakedown process, and serve as the interface with the REAL experts back at headquarters.
Use those communication skills to be the go-between for a customer who doesn’t know the right questions to ask, and a technical expert who doesn’t know how to dumb-down the explanation. The added bonus, of course, is that someone who’s good at sales has a high earnings potential.
He/she has not demonstrated he/she has any.
You can apply to law school with a bachelor’s degree in any subject. There aren’t even undergrad course requirements like there are with medical or veterinary schools.
That’s obnoxious. My mom has a degree from Rutgers, and my dad has a degree from that other little-known college in New Jersey, Princeton. Both of them are quite capable of expressing themselves articulately in English.
I’m sure your parents are quite articulate, but how do you explain the Rutgers graduate who started this thread?
I have no way of knowing whether the OP is a Rutgers graduate at all. My point was just that as a NJ native myself, I get really tired of the cracks about New Jersey and wish people would knock it off. People with a poor command of written English are all over the country.
I’m still trying to figure out how someone who has a communications degree has so much trouble communicating. Communications majors have to take a fair number of English classes, and essays are required there an in other courses, essays that can’t be written in “folk talk.” How did you pass those courses?
I’m also confused as to why you’re asking about possible careers for communications majors when you already have the degree. Why are you doing this search now instead of when you first considered getting this degree?
Honestly, OP, if you want a career that entails written communication, you should consider taking a course in English grammar and basic writing skills. I’m not saying this to be mean. I’m just being realistic.
I suppose next you’ll be insisting that we desist from commentary on familial relations among white Appalachians. 
…Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, has a Bachelor of Communication Studies in Public Relations and Political Science. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that communication was a cornerstone of NZ’s success in our elimination strategy for Covid 19. So what job can you get? Prime Minister should be on the list.
