Also what about money, I see paid interns for engineering and what not, but I rarely see any paid internships for business or comm.

Is it that bad bro?
Will my lack of involvement in organizations hinder me? I wanted to be involved I just really couldn't find time. And the internships, I don't even know where to begin to look. I've just been drifting tryna survive out here man.
It will bro, it's too competitive out there but just look online and maybe somewhere on your campus has a resource center to find jobs and internships.. find one at all costs even if it's unpaid but of course try to get a paid one
Tell me about it. The bullshyt Macy's has been putting me through for the last two weeks is
I ranted about it in the retail stories thread last week and I'm still dealing with it 
When you need legal advice and possibly an attorney to deal with your job for you doing practically nothing, then it's time to step out of Retail.
I would give marketing the slight edge between the two but honestly neither are as good as STEM or as bad as philosophy/social studies. What's more important is the prestige of your university and your level of hustle.
I would recommend a top, full-time MBA to anyone that can get in. After getting my MBA from a top-10 institution my base pay literally trebled.

I guess what confuses me Is how it could possibly be better than advertising. Seems like you would be able to make moves in comm at the bachelor level as compared to marketing at the bachelor level.if you want the best you gotta do what needs to be done
Would u agree? I know master's is gonna give the edge. Thx for that info

I got a communications degree. All that stuff crosses over. You can hop into the marketing field, advertising field, public relations field, anything under that umbrella and be straight. But you have to have to have to intern. Get a portfolio together for which ever field you want to go into. You should have something from class as a final product but having something from an actual company is a million times better.

Thx bruh. Can u give advice for finding Internships?
I had a bad grade spell at a point in time amd ive been tryna build my gpa back up before I intern.
How would I begin to find good internships? Instead of the generic ones.

Decide what you want to do 1st. What area of communications do you want to.work in. Then look up local places in that field where you live who have internship programs and call them and ask them about it. You'll probably have to wait until the back half of the summer at least before you can get anything. Probably the fall most likely. But the most important thing to do is figure out what you want to Do and who offers that.also when looking as messed up and backwards as it sounds don't go for the biggest company possible. You want to learn and be able to do things. A lot of big companies are busier so they have less time to teach. Go for the medium sized and smaller companies. That way you won't just be answering phones and fetching coffee

I'm a Advertising major, but currently I do marketing. Advertising is a hard field to get a job if you don't have any internship experience. Still kicking myself till this day that i didn't do any internships while in school. I had one offer, but the company decided to drop the position. I'm still pursuing a career in it though. I recently was accepted for a week long program at an ad agency in which they will educate me and few other people what goes on behind the scenes and actually do an ad campaign for one of their clients. This is basically my "foot in the door" opportunity. It'll be a good way for me to network and get some leads.
