The number one fear of most American's is arachnophobia (fear of spiders). Public speaking is a close second, and can be helped by studying speech communication.  However, speech communication isn't just public speaking; it's group communication, interpersonal, intercultural and a whole lot more.

Not sure what you want to major in or what field you want to pursue?  Might I suggest Communication?  A degree in communication opens the door for many careers.  I have friends who majored in communication who are lobbyists in Washington D.C., consultants for Arthur Andersen, PR people for hospitals, airports and computer businesses, not to mention teachers.  No matter what your life's work is, effective communication is a necessity.  For some ideas about fields involving communication click on these websites.
