To determine just how valuable they are, we turned to PayScale, the creator of the world's largest compensation database.
PayScale found the highest-paying jobs for communications majors by first identifying the most common jobs for those with a bachelor's degree (and nothing more) who work full-time in the US. They then ranked those jobs by "Experienced Median Pay," which is the median compensation - including base salary, bonuses, commissions, overtime, and profit sharing (but not equity) - for those in any given profession with a "typical amount of experience."
