Flip Burgers. \n\nNo, actually the best thing to keep in mind when you conducting a job search is what you WANT to do.  The answer to that question will inevitably have more to do with your happiness and success than what you are QUALIFIED to do.  Most employers are more interested in what you've DONE and what you WANT TO DO than WHAT YOU'VE STUDIED anyway.  \n\nThink about what you like doing, where you'd like to be five/ten years from now, and what choices you'd like to have.  Don't let your degre determine what you can do.  People change jobs every 3-5 years and careers every 7-10, on average.  That you have a degree is much more important than what it's in specifically.  \n\nThe best advice I can give you is that whatever you choose, do something that will give you more options in the future (as opposed to fewer).  You never know how the circumstances in your life will affect your interests down the road.

I'm assuming that you're majoring in either journalism or sport, but surely if you major in one of those, you could minor in the other one.\n\nAside from that, I think that many journalists these days are missing a very basic understanding of Economics.  It wouldn't be an easy minor, but it might be helpful, especially if you're going to be reporting on contract negotiations or the building of sports stadiums.  It helps if you can report on the issues intelligently.  That's something that very few reporters can handle these days.  If you're at a big school, you may even find a course in the Economics of Sports, which would fit in well with your goals.  Best of luck.

Try an internship at a radio station.  They're always doing publicity.  Then in college, try to volunteer at your campus radio station doing more publicity.  I knew a woman who leveraged her college radio experience along with her B.A. in Communication into a great job at a top-notch p.r. firm.

The top UK universities for humanities subjects (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, Nottingham, etc.) tend to have more academic undergraduate courses and so wouldn't offer journalism as a separate course - though it might be one of the papers in the later years of the course. At postgraduate level at those universities it would also be more likely to be a study on journalism and journalists, rather than "how to be a journalist".\n\nFrom speaking to journalist friends, rather than doing a degree in journalism they recommend doing a humanities subject (e.g. English, History, Geography) at a good university while building up a good track record and portfolio of published articles.

I imagine many people have already mentioned the possibility of working for a governmental agency.  I would like to suggest to you the pursuit of employment and quite possibly a career in International Development with one of the many NGOs working in your region.  Your specialization in geography as it relates to civilization, humanity and population could be of great service to agencies that work in the areas of education, environment and relief on behalf of the less fortunate. \nSee the following NGO directories:\n\nhttp://edugreen.teri.res.in/explore/ngos.htm\nhttp://www.unchs.org/unchs/english/ngos/prof1.htm\n\nGood Luck in Your Endeavors!

Depending on rthe type of history that you're studying, try curation at a museum - museum of natural history, art, whatever - again, depending on your area of concentration.\n\nOther options, as listed on the site beelow, are:  advertising executive, analyst, archivist, broadcaster, campaign worker, consultant, congressional aide, editor, foreign service officer, foundation staffer, information specialist, intelligence agent, journalist, legal assistant, lobbyist, personnel manager, public relations staffer, researcher, teacher . . . the list can be almost endless.

Journalism for magazines. Writing of professional papers. Research and Data Management.

There are journalism opportunities all over the place! First of all, start close to home. Contact your local newspaper's editor and talk with them about doing a non-paid internship. This worked for me, and I was writing articles within a week! Not to mention, after your internship sometimes they offer you a job. I would contact all of the papers or magazines in your area and see if they would be interested.\n\nAlso, you could try this with tv stations.\n\nAs for places online to submit articles, first you have to have a topic. Then, do a search online for magazines or web sites that focus on the topic. Then, contact them!\n\nI think because journalism requires so much self-motivation and planning that they look for someone who can get their act together and present options to them.\n\nAnother thing is to find a mentor. I asked a couple of people who were in the biz if I could take them out to lunch and ask them questions. (Who doesn't want a free lunch???) Then ask them all about their job, what they like, what they wish they did differently, how to get a job, etc.\n\nGood luck!

It totally depends on what you want to do.  I got a BofBA in accounting and now I'm an accountant.  Some of the folks I work with got Com degress and are now answering the phone in customer service.  I would say, for either degree, get a speacialty in something like marketing, management, journalism, etc. so that you'll be really great in one field.  It's better to be great at one thing than just ok at a lot of things.

You could try Peace Corps. You don't have to be right out of college to do it, and it's a real adventure. A lot of people get international jobs as a result of their volunteer service, especially if you learn another language fluently. \n\nSince you are a communications person, you also have a very marketable skill: writing. If you're out there and can write, someone will pick you up.\n\nThe best thing is that you meet a lot of like-minded people and make friends for life.
