Should we be worried…. comm. degrees?

I think we all know that most of the jobs with our economy being the way it is in  trouble. And most of our peers or mentors tell us that if we want to do something in life we need to have a education and with out education we still need to push ahead with a masters or a doctorate in something to ensure we have our jobs on lock. but is that even possible with the major we have choosen because i am sure that with the way technology is advancing there isnt going to be  a need for a dj or a switch operator or maybe even actual human interaction for news reports and etc,. There is a low demand for emplyees and a high demand for work and things just arent evening out for most fields. I always planned on comming to college and now that I am here i dont feel like this will be enough for me to either find a job or maybe even keep one.  My self and one other person in my family went to college and yet everyone i know still has a job and has kept one regardless of what is happening in the economy. Im in college and I am soon to graduate and I wonder will i even be able to find a job to be able to pay off the loans i had to take out to be able to give myself the chance to secure a career in the job field? I iknow i couldnt have come this far in vain but am I really going to be able to do what i have set goals for myself to do without worrying about a computer being smarter and fas less expensive to do what I thought i would be able to have a career doing? The level of insecurity placed on my shoulders as i walk across the stage in acceptance to the thousands of dollars spent for a small documentation representing my education background. Will it all be worth it or will i still be living paycheck to paycheck in the long run, the same way some of my family or friends do without the education background that I possess??Or should i even be worried at all??
