There are many media courses in schools and a t university, but it’s a vocational subject that’s often picked on for being rather poor for job prospects. The main reason for this tends to be because it’s supposed to be ‘studied by people who didn’t know what else to pick’.
That’s true in many subjects though, and media is a large industry, so there will be people who chose it because they wasn’t sure on what they want to do in the future. It can give people the experience needed to start a career in Journalism, Copywriting, Press Relations, Advertising, Photography and Videography among others.
There’s no right or wrong subject to study, and every course has the potential to help an individual develop skills and a successful career, and media courses should not be written off.
