BANGALORE: With college costs skyrocketing, the cost of education is increasing faster. In such a situation funding an education naturally becomes an expensive business. With that in mind Salary.com has put across a list of eight jobs that need immediate attention with regards to potential return on investment and also reports that that these degrees are unlikely to lead to a well-paid job.
Communications
You’d think the well furnished newsrooms and TV studios are full of wealthy and famous journalists. Not quite. Although these skills require lots of education and training, they lag behind with regards to pay.
Among the degrees that hold the worst ROI under communications jobs include, copywriter, news reporter and marketing coordinator. While ROI numbers for these professions are pretty good in attending public college, but when it comes to private college the numbers soar down.
