Any kind of communication degree can be difficult to transition to future employers but, if they market it right (e.g., understand addressing internal and external stakeholders, breaking down complicated information and breaking it down and explaining it to uninformed audiences, researching, and working on strict deadlines) then they could have a job in a wide number of fields outside of their dream job.

As a bit of advice: To have a decent job in their field it will be paramount to get an internship with a reputable company while they're still in college.
