# 24 Communication Majors- the prospects

I decided to look up exactly what a communication major does, how important it is to our society, and what kind of jobs are out there for future Comm Majors.
Did you know...
-it is impossible to not communicate. Everything we do, whether we intend for it to or not, sends a message.
-According to the Federal Trade Commission, there are 20,000 television commercials made each year that are aimed exclusively at children. Of these, 7,000 are for sugared breakfast cereals.

The first one talks about how it is impossible not to communicate. When you really think about that it is. Even if you're silent or stay in your room all day, you are still communicating the fact that you don't want to be bothered.
The second one is intersting too. For the latest group project, my group designed a magazine and I wrote an article about TV commercials in the US compared to countries in the European Union and found that in most other places there are strict laws about advertising to young children.
