Is getting a degree in communications a good idea?

My first BA is in communications. Most of my classmates have ended up working in large corporations and nonprofit organizations, doing PR type stuff or internal communications for the company (think writing company newsletter or maintaining the content on the website). Some of my classmates have ended up doing programming or sales in tv or radio (not a lot of money there though and lots of competition). I also knew someone with a BA CMN + MBA as head of marketing. Me? I ended up going to law school! (and actually that degree opened up a lot of doors back in the day). Despite what everyone on this board says, I still think a law degree is a good idea, especially if you open your mind to the fact that you will not be making $1,000,000s of dollars as a lawyer.
