Unsure about entering Multimedia!
I'm basically just worried that I won't end up with a solid career after graduating with a major in multimedia. Are there any graduates or current students in the program with any reassuring or painfully truthful opinions or facts? I don't wanna graduate with a useless degree!

Thanks a lot!

The 2 best programs/degrees in terms of employment and compensation are Nursing and Engineering. You would be better off going into a Business program with a specialization in Marketing.

Degrees are only useless if you go to university with no real goal, instead of going to actually learn, and get interested in what you're learning. Quite a few of people I know or have heard of have tended to become 'multimedia-y' in their own time, instead of going through formal training and the like.

(in the sense of web development, photo manipulation, website design, video editingand other artistic endevours; not some of the things exclusive to multimedia classes at uni)
