    People wanna talk all this shit about communications but can’t communicate with anyone around them. It’s genuinely irritating how much this field and psychology take so much hate.

    Communications major here; while studying how to communicate does seem rather useless at first, it’s actually rather important to study it for the fields that rely on communication. Public speaking is the number one fear in the USA, so competent speakers for PR and similar areas are less prominent than you’d think. Studying the aspects of communication allows for people to understand how to achieve the best conversation, speech, report, etc, to meet their goal. After all, a company isn’t going to be able to sell their product if they can’t give a good proposition speech to persuade their backers. There’s a lot more to communications as a major than what meets the eye.

      What you just listed is also applicable to every other degree. Which degree doesn’t require public speaking and presentations? And if you go further along enough to get a Master’s or PhD, you have to defend your dissertation in front of a panel.

    Communication major here, tbh, i applied for 3 different degrees as plan A to C, international relations, political science and communication science. I cried when i only got comm. I thought that its a degree where u only learn how to communicate but its more social sciencyy than that. Human are communicative creatures where transfer of information happens and it will affect individual's cogntion, affect and behavior. And there different fields like organisational, political and health communications. So think of psychology but about social interactions.

    I was taking a corporate course, and my "communications" teacher was explaining that good communication requires paraphrasing and repetition. I was told to paraphrase all of his sentences. Feeling patronized, I started arguing with him and walked out. I said "we'll never get anything done paraphrasing and repeating each other! This is the most inefficient way to communicate, I feel like my brain cells are dying and I need to leave."

      Not at all. It will replace meaningless labor first, as it lacks creativity or empathy. Therefore it will not replace jobs in public relations, advertising and other creative endeavors (let’s face it AI art is shitty.) It will never be able to practice law or install plumbing.

    I studied in Top100 university as a Software Engineering student and let me share my experience with Communication students.
    I was "forced" to collaborate with Communication students for countless projects throughout my uni, and they are the most stupidest, laziest, useless, dead weight people I have ever met in my entire life. It is not exaggeration.
    Later I found out that the requirements for this degree is so low that high school dropouts can just apply to it if they don't have any other choice. I was in shock how top100 university allows this. How the student with CGPA below 2.0 can even study at the university...
    Students from other faculties started begging the management to stop allowing Communication students collab with students from other faculties. Because every single time we have to carry this useless people that doesn't even answer or care to the simplest requests and tasks.
    So my advice to students, if you are studying at university, avoid collabing or working with communication students at any cost. They will just bring you down. You will have to carry them every single time.
