Comm Profs: not hot

I always thought communication faculty had a reputation for hotness. I mean, that’s particularly true of public relations and broadcasting (along with pharmaceutical sales), careers for which beauty seems to be a particular asset. But given our reputation as a bit of an air-headed or superficial major (this guy not helping), I figured we at least were doing well on the hotness scale. Not so: we rank near the bottom of the disciplines, sandwiched between business profs.
