Communications is a broad subject.  Some people have offered suggestions in broadcast communications or human relations.\n\nThere is written communication, audiovisual communication, corporate communication?\n\nDo you want to be a writer? On air talent? A producer?  Do you want to work in news, entertainment, the public sector?\n\nWhen you got your degree, what kind of courses did you take? What did you enjoy most?  What did you do to complete your projects?\n\nIf time and money were not a factor, what is your ideal job?  Who holds that job?  What did they do to qualify for that job?\n\nIf you're not sure what you want to do with your degree, make a list of everything you have done as a volunteer or a student project or a part-time job - what did you enjoy most?

Hi! The most powerful weapon you have is your voice. Although you are afraid to speak up in class, I do encourage you to do so. I was the same way. I was even voted most shy in high school. However, through my service in the Air Force, they have you take "toastmasters" (or public speaking) courses. I fell in love with public speaking. I think the thing to remember is that many of your classmates will undoubtedly feel the same way you do about speaking. Go for it. But, if you choose not to, the best way to avoid being called on, is to sit up front, give the teacher great eye contact. Do not write notes, or keep your head down.  When he/she asks a question, do not avert your eyes, maintain direct eye contact, until he has called on someone (preferable not you). As an African American sister myself, let me tell you, I encourage you wholeheartedly to take a speaking course through your school. Good luck.

A friend of mine is currently pursuing his doctorate in U.S. history here at the University of Wisconsin - his dissertation's on African-American athletes in the 19th century. It's a fabulous school and has strong grad programs. You should check it out.

Sociology is a great option! \n\nAny undergrad degree in the arts and letters is good choice if she wants a graduate degree in Criminology.\n\nAs for careers, she can work as a counselor in a correctional facility or a state hospital. She can work as a counselor for a county agency. She can work for the government, be it local, state or federal.

Try Rhetoric & Composition. As less people have the ability to write well, this field is becoming more in demand.

african women generally know what it is to be a true /real woman.they never loose focus of the fact that they are the carriers and shapers of the next generation and especially issues like motherhood.they are natural(no silicon nonsense),hardworking and intelligent.

Seems like you have met some good women, and from the way you phrase your question, have not met "many black men". There are plenty of black men that are building, if not already on, a successful career path and place family values at the same level that the "dignified" women you have met do.  You might want to expand your associations to include some of these men.

I'm Black and I speak proper English at all times unless I'm just hangin' w/ friends.  However, when it matters, and when I hear Black people speaking Ebonics -- or what I just plain call "ghetto" -- I think they are simply uneducated.  I think they're low-class and I think they reflect poorly on ALL Blacks.

I kind of hate that. I'm a well educated African American mind as well show it off and not be a statistic not to sound rude but if you talk that way its cool. Like I'll talk that way when I'm not a school

BLACK WOMEN?  EWWW...GROSS!  KIDDING!  I think women of all colors are beautiful.  Personally, I have no preference for color.  It sounds corny, but it's what's inside a person that counts.
