So I am a 21 yr old college student studying Communications and minoring in Business. I have worked at a Blockbuster since June 2003 until earlier this year, leaving as an Assistant Manager/Sales Manager. Now I am a waiter at Chili's.I left Blockbuster because I had to relocate, and there isn't a corporate one located here. I have approximately 66 more credit hours to earn before I can graduate.
I recently applied to a Starbucks in hope to become an Assistant and make a career out of it. After 3 weeks of interviews, HR paperwork, and waiting, I've been turned down.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do once I graduate. I am highly willing to relocate to any large city. I just don't have a clue what I could do with a Comm major (I'm majoring in it because I enjoy it).
Anyone have any ideas what I could do? My dream was to run my own coffee shop, but it looks like that door closed.

there are lots of things you can do with a communications major....do you have a tv station near where you live? how about a radio station? newspaper? magazine? etc. so try to get a job working there. getting your foot in the door is always the hardest part. once there, you can bust your azz and work like crazy to move up, if you dont like what youre doing you can always move to different departments within the same company.
and your dream of running a coffee shop is NOT closed. think of this as a minor detour along the way. save up your money, in your spare time start studying how the coffee shop business operates....and sooner or later you can open it up.

Couldn't you get a job at a newspaper or magazine company? I think that you can still also run your own Coffee Shop. Just because Starbucks turned you down does not mean that all coffee shops will.

I would definitely focus on finishing school and just keep trying. Don't give up what you love. Any thoughts about what you would do with this degree?
