Read the following passage about Communication Studies and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

[I] Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of students choosing to pursue degrees in communication. [II] By 2030, it is predicted that communication-related fields will be among the top areas of study for university students globally. [III] This shift is driven by various factors, each of which contributes to the growing popularity of communication programs. [IV]

The push factors include limited career opportunities in other fields. Many students find that their options in traditional professions are limited, and they often seek alternatives with better prospects. Communication, being a dynamic and evolving field, offers students the chance to develop a wide range of skills applicable to many industries. Moreover, the increasing digitalisation of society means that industries are constantly looking for professionals who can effectively navigate online platforms, manage content, and engage with diverse audiences. On the other hand, pull factors include the wide variety of career paths that a degree in communication opens up. Graduates can work in advertising, public relations, media, journalism, and corporate communications, which are sectors that often offer competitive salaries and ample opportunities for career growth.

However, the choice to study communication also has its challenges. One notable issue is the oversaturation of certain sectors, particularly journalism, where the demand for jobs does not always meet the supply of qualified candidates. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological change in the media industry means that students must continuously update their skills to stay relevant.

The growing interest in communication studies reflects the demand for professionals who can effectively manage information in a world that is increasingly connected and information-driven. By understanding both the advantages and challenges of the field, students can make more informed decisions about their career paths.
