When I first saw this picture, I figured this was an article about the police. But no, this a picture of where your criminal justice degree could take you in finding a career right out of college. 

Many of us are worried about what to expect with degrees in our career field, while the economy is slowly declining. However, despite the lagging market there are many entry-level jobs for all students with bachelors degrees.

People with degrees in the communication area can find jobs in PR, reporting, advertising, public speaking and more, and can make as much as $30,921 in beginning salary. Perhaps more than I or you expected with a dwindling economy, not to mention high competition in the medium. Do you think this is a reasonable expectation for our degrees?

The highest paying degrees are in marketing and business adminstration/managment which apparently can yield slightly less than $60,000 per year. If you are familiar with either of these areas, it can be a huge asset to have entering into the work world.
Do you think this is a reasonable expectation for our degrees? Do you think the economy could have further effects on what salary you do make?
