The marketing degree would be a business degree with a concentration in marketing, and I would most likely minor in mass communication. I am unsure if I want to go into a marketing career or a public relations career, but I feel the the marketing major covers more. If I were to change my mind later, I believe that it would be easier to major in a marketing and get a career in public relations than it would be to major in public relations and get a career in marketing. Am I correct?

I want to get into a public relations career, but I'm not sure if the job in general is profitable enough to support me and my (soon-to-be) family. I have a degree in communications and public relations from American University, but I have no experience in the field. What type of salary can I expect to get at first and over time as a PR specialist? Can I be financially comfortable in this career? Thanks!

Hello! I graduated in Dec. '05 with a BS degree in Communications with an emphasis in broadcast journalism. I don't want to go into a broadcasting job, but I got so far along in my degree I just finished it to have it. I'm now considering the idea of going back to school and getting a master's in PR to make myself marketable in the corporate world. My problems with PR are that I have never liked the idea of manipulating the public. PR always appeared to be a rather sleazey idea (no offense intended) I think that if I worked for a non-profit, a school system or a hospital, it would be easier to deal with and more fullfilling to me. Does anybody here presently or formerly work in Public Relations? What is a typical day like? Do you like it/hate it and why? If you left, why did you leave and what are you doing now? Sorry for the loaded question. Do you look at PR in a negative light as a profession?

Good colleges? What kinds of careers/positions are out there? Salaries? How do I get started?

I just became interested in a career in public relations. I'd like to know how long does it take to recive a degree in public relations or journalism?? which of the two I'd better off taking? Approximately the yearly earn of a pr specialist & also the basics of the job... Thanks!

I have been freelance writing and working odd jobs for most of my life, I am now 29 and am just finishing my degree in PR. It seems like everyone starting in the PR field is YOUNG. Do I stand a chance of getting hired at my age, without experience outside of my internships? Thx!

I am trying to figure out what I want to study in college. I'm pretty sure I want to major in Public Relations with a minor in Spanish so that I can go all around the world. I would love to be a Spanish translator. Would that be considered a career in Public Relations?

Thanks. :)

Is a Public Relations a good career to embark on?? Do they make much money is this career stressful? How is the media relations field like?

I am currently a communications media major with intentions of going into public relations, but am not sure if I could get a job in this out of college. If I can, what should I minor in? Also, would marketing be a better career choice? Thanks

I've been working in public relations for years and have great references and strong experience. However, PR is one of the most impacted industry in our current recession. I'm looking for a career change where I can use those communication skills in a more stable industry.

I've been looking into the career of Public Relations and I'm very sure that its the thing I want to do with my life. Anyways the thing I want to know is: - What things should I major in besides Public Relations? Is Journalism okay? - Are there any schools in NYC that you would recommend for PR? - Is there anything now, in high school, that I can start doing to prepare myself? Thanks much in advance!

So I've just recently been accepted to Auburn University and I know for sure that I want to have a career somewhere in the Public Relations department. I just want to know which majors/minors should I take up to kick start my career. Which majors are best to give me the most information and get me ready for this career. Also I would love to know exactly what a PR is? I've got a clue from other websites but I want to know for sure. Thanks
