It would most likely be some type of administrative position in a hospital.  I would look at smaller hospitals at first since it's better to be a big fish in a small bowl then a small fish in a big bowl.  Once you get some experience, then you can move up to larger hospitals.  Most managed care organizations like some type of experience at the "field" level where you work in an actual hospital environment.  Good Luck!

I'm assuming that you are just heading into college?....It seems like the best thing to think about when deciding on a career path is just think about the things that intrigue you and you are truly curious about.  Then branch out from there.  I have found it so valuable to get out there are work in your field to get a feel for things.  Even if you are at the lowest wrung on the ladder you can get a sense for if those environments will make you happy.  What I realized is those jobs that I thought were going to be sooooo great and rewarding were not at all after working there for a little while.

Not sure what you are looking for here.  Although if you are trying to figure out what Career you should be in or what you need to get into a specific career.  I found that the local College resource center is excellent.  You can make an appointment with a Career councilor or you can look through their books.  The book I found interesting was a list of all the programs available and the average starting salary and how many graduates got a job after graduating.  This helped me to decide what to go into.  It was important to me to get into a field that was hiring and had a good starting salary.  I also found my own little niche where my personality and skills I enjoyed would fit into it as a career.\nI found going to a career councilor helped a lot because she was experienced in dealing with people and knew all the various careers available (some I hadn't even thought of).  Some places even have a test they do that tells you what Career would best suit you.  \nThe Employment Insurance website has some Career development sections as well.\nHope this helps and good - luck

I hear you.  It's next to impossible to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life right off the bat when graduating from college.  The best advice I'd give is to make a list of a few careers you might want to try and talk to as many people in those professions as you can to find out what they are like.  Get your feet wet and try to intern at a company in that job.  If you like it, go for it.  If not, nothing lost.  You've done great to get your degree.  I've been in HR for 10 yrs and it's not easy, but very rewarding personally.  Good luck.

I happen to be a communications major myself.  I have been out of school for 3 years now.  I have always been in sales.  I have excellent communications skills and my degree helped me sharpen all of those skills.  However I have very high stress levels, because no matter how much a sell one week, it all starts over the next week at 0.  I do beleive that comm degrees are the easiest degrees to get and do not mean much to an employer.\n\nSome of the jobs available are:\nRadio, newspaper, etc\npublic relations\nthen your general jobs that require a college education.\n\nI would suggest you go where the moneys is!!!  The medical industry is full of money and only growing.  Advertising and marketing are great sources for money too.  There are a ton of sales positions as long as you are outgoing and energetic.\n\nGood luck!

You didn't mention your area of concentration, but a business degree is probably one of the most versatile degrees you can earn. Find something you are interested in and start applying. Most colleges and universities have tests which might help you to decide on a career path. These tests are usually available at no charge to students. One is called the strong test. It is basically a preferences test. Since you recently graduated, they may be able to give you one of them and provide some guidance. With your degree, you could get into a management or leadership track with any number of retailers or fast food restaurants. Pay with many of these programs is pretty good. Depending on your area of interest you may consider Home Depot, Lowes, McDonalds, Wendy's, Walmart, Kmart or Sears. This is only a short list of those companies who are most likely to have management track programs for those with a college degree. Most of these companies have a website which should provide information on career opportunities. Some other areas you may consider are transportation and logistics. Trucking companies are always in need of dispatchers and operations people. Warehousing is a growing area and there are a lot of opportunities available. Advertising agencies and public relations agencies are another area where you could utilize your degree. Ad agencies have opportunities for media buyers, research, billing and accounting and other operations functions. PR agencies will use people in dealing with media, newsletters, etc.,

Hate to break this to you partner...College is no realistic representation of what real life is like. When you have a job you are expected to get up each day and go work hard to produce results. If you want soothing hire a massuese(sp?)

A good part time job in college would be something in the area that you are studying-if possible.  It would get you experience which help after college and you get to make money.  Hopefully you can get a job that is close to school and will work with your school schedule.

Go to college, get a degree, and get a job after you graduate doing what you like best to do. After that you can think about get married, having a family, and becoming old knowing that you succeed alot in your life.

Colleges have counselors who provide you with free counseling to find a job\nDoes your resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what you want to do. An objective of finding an interesting job in management goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding a sales trainee job where I can utilize my strong interpersonal skills gets kicked over to the sales dept. You can also state why you want a job in purchasing or as a personnel assistant. Be specific. Are you only looking at ads or are you taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if you can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Have you told everyone you know you are looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know

Most people are going to say go to college, I won't be any different but don't think that is your only option.\nIf you do go to college, pick a major based on what you love, not what will make you the most money.  In the end your happiness and loving you job is worth more than what they pay you.  At the same time, try to volunteer in the career field you want to be in, it'll gain you valuable experiance.\n\nIf college isn't for you, find a job you can enjoy and advance in.  Don't find something that will let you stay at minimum wage for eternity.

Not staying in college and ending up in dead-end, stressful, call-center type jobs. I would give almost anything to go back to college and get a degree so I could do something I 'want' to do, not 'have' to do.

Communications is primarily used to enter into the the mass communications and marketing industries.  \n\nThe "generic" jobs using this are radio, television and public relations. \n\nHowever, this is not to say that this is your only avenue.  There are literally billions of jobs out there and somebody does each and every one of them.  It may surprise you, but not everyone "does" their major for a living - especially for liberal arts majors like communications.  But the key is to do what you enjoy, not be blindsided by ignorance and take pride in building your own life. \n\nA good way to know what is out there is to get informational interview. Ask people what they do, what their typical work day is like, what they like and dislike about their jobs and how they got the job.  I went through dozens of informational interviews before I got my first job so that I went in with my eyes wide open.  As opposed to job interviews, people are usually flattered and very open to talking to college students when asked for an informational interview.  Just ask for 30 minutes and it will return volumes in experience.

I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear because you will think I'm trying to be your mother....\n\nThere really aren't good paying jobs out here without a college education.  Even with a college education, you will not start out with a great salary.  You will need to saty at a job for a while and build up your salary....A company pays you for your experience.  \n\nThe best thing you can do is go to college.  Perhaps you can go part time in the evenings and work during the day.  You could also look at getting a skill or trade.  You really do need some type of education or training.\n\nIf you can't afford college, you could do what I did.  I joined the military (Air Force) and while I was in I went to school...It took me a long time to get my degree but eventually I did it.  I ended up enjoying the military and stayed much longer than I thought I would.  I had a wonderful career, and last year I started a new one with a private company.\n\nThere are possibilities out there, but be sure you look at  your options!  Good Luck to you!

If you want a bigger paycheck, go to college. Most well-paying jobs in the world today require some sort of college education or degree.

Unfortunately, either an on-campus job (but usually they're binded by a union so you have little or no chance of getting the good ones), or else waitressing or retail.  Another good idea is to do temporary jobs if you have office skills, if you want hands on you can go through a temp service and do assembly for about 9 or 10 an hour.  That way you're only temporary so when it's time to go back to school, you can tell them you have to go back but will be available the next summer.
