I’m not sure if I wanna stay a speech comm major or transfer into advertising. I’d like to go into the business industry and I’ve heard both majors get similar jobs.

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

Here’s a link showing the median salary for an advertising major:)%2c_Advertising/Salary&src=yahooA And this link shows the median salary of a speech communications major:)%2c_Speech_Communication/Salary&src=yahooA As you can see, the salaries for both majors vary depending on the type of job, location, experience level, industry and other factors. These are also median figures and many speech communications and advertising majors will earn more or less depending on their circumstances. To find more accurate salary data for your specific job related to these majors, you can take the free salary survey at PayScale.com.

Hope that helps,
