Whether you love your major or hate it, it doesn't matter. That's because the many skills you're learning in journalism and other humanities majors like -- English, History, Government & Politics, Philosophy, Sociology, etc -- are transferable into countless industries. You'll learn step-by-step how to inventory the most valuable skills you've gained inside and outside the classroom and translate them into tangible job functions that exist in almost any industry you can imagine. From Aeronautics to Architecture, from Hedge Funds to Health Care, from IG & TikTok from Intelligence & Foreign Affairs, this will be a course unlike any other you've taken in college because its sole focus is to help you identify at least three career options you'd be excited to pursue after you graduate and then show you how to use LinkedIn to uncover those jobs and internships.
