Studying journalism can help prepare you for a wide range of jobs in the communications field, such as reporter, editor, or copywriter. Reporters are on-the-ground journalists who interview people, research events, and then convey their knowledge in print, online, or in a radio or television broadcast. Editors tend to work behind the scenes to ensure the information is accurate and communicated effectively. Because journalism classes focus heavily on writing skills, they'll also prepare you for jobs in copywriting, grant writing, and technical writing.
