Most use it to get into either news or film making. However, you can use it for HR, motivational speaking, teaching, politics, exc. Basically, if it requires a lot of talking, interpersonal or public, communications helps. However, you may be thinking, "Wait a minute... Most of those require other degrees!"

That's the rub. Comm is not something you want by itself. As I said, it's a piece of paper that says, "I can talk to people!" That's near useless. If you want to be a tour guide or something, perhaps, but short of that, not much. However, if you have another piece of paper for another skill, you can say, "I can effectively communicate, help others effectively communicate, as well as X. I can help to minimize conflict in the workplace, and if you need somebody to talk to groups large or small, I'm your man. Also, I'm skilled in X. Please hire me!"

It's a field of study that I'm not sure what I'm going to do with as of yet. I am leaning towards education at the moment, but that's mostly because I'm surrounded by academia. Perhaps Journalism, but I doubt it. I am not the best with deadlines, nor the fastest writer. Journalism wants the article or story out thirty minutes before it happens. That is not likely for me. My dream job would be voice acting, but that's unlikely.
