I’m a psychology major and a spanish minor and I am trying to figure out good careers to pursue. I was wondering if someone could give me some information on some careers in the television, music, or magazine industries that go along with my major and minor.

I’ve had an internship in a fashion public relations firm but I didn’t learn much at all about the area and I am interested in other options other than pr.

Thanks!


give me like 5 or something … thank you

I am thinking of applying to grad school. I just graduated with 2 bachelor’s degrees- one in communication and one in sociology. I want to get a Master’s for personal achievement and also so I never have to go back to school later in life. If I don’t go now to grad school, I honestly don’t think I ever will.

I found a program at a state university for a Master of Science in Public Relations with a concentration of advertising/marketing. It will cost me $16,500 total, including books/fees, etc. I will go full time for 1 year to graduate. I’m staying at home with my kid, so it’s not like I am missing out on work.

Do you think it’s a good investment? I wouldn’t take out student loans because I have saved $20,000 for grad school (if I wanted to go). I have no student loans from my bachelor’s either, I would be debt free.


Dont they already have formal diplomatic channels?

This line is the interesting part of this article:
Certainly, no expense is being spared. Justice Department records show that Turkey signed a $100,000 -a-month contract in May with the lobbying firm DLA Piper, one of several hired to fight the resolution.

Separately, Turkey paid Bob Livingston , former House Appropriations Committee chairman, $625,000 for work from March 1 to Aug. 31 , records show. Last month, Turkey added the public relations firm Fleishman-Hillard to its roster at $113,000 a month.


Bocconi University in Milan has a fashion business masters degree taught in English. Are there other programs like that in Italy? Most likely the programs would be concerning business, public relations, communication, international affairs? The potential student studies Italian and wants to pursue a masters in her English language. There are many business degrees around the world where they teach in English but we want a selection in Italy. Please send names of those Universities

Don’t people realize RealClimate.org is owned by a public relations firm?

Check this out.

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=realclimate.org

Environmental Media Services is listed as the “registrant organization” which means they own it. Arlie Schardt is the man behind EMS and he is the former communications director (PR guy) for Al Gore’s presidential campaign in 2000.

EMS is closely allied with Fenton Communications, a large for profit PR firm. They share the same address.

Plus RealClimate still publishes the writings of Michael Mann, the pseudoscientist who was responsible for the Hockey Stick.

So why do people still link to RealClimate? Don’t they realize how discredited they are?
Bob, yes RealClimate has been discredited as have most of their authors (like Mann, Ammann and Bradley) who refused to abide by the standards of science like archiving and sharing their data with other researchers.

Also, try asking a question or making a comment they are uncomfortable with. The censors are there to push the party line. You cannot really debate with them because when you point out their errors, your comments do not show up on the website.
Trevor, if you go to my websites, I am the registrant. Try asking yourself why a PR firm would be the registrant? What is the connection between the two? Based on the censorship that goes on at RealClimate, it is obvious they are pushing an agenda and not debating science.
Vlado, peer review is not perfect. It is kind of like asking a fellow student to read over a paper before turning it in. He may be able to spot some problems or tell you that you need to go into more depth on certain points but his help is limited. Peer review is designed to spot glaring errors and improve the quality of papers but it is not designed to spot small errors of reproduce the study so it cannot find fabrications and scientific fraud. The two disciplines with the worst reputations for fabrications and failure to archive data are medical and climate science. The European Science Foundation recently held a “World Conference on Research Integrity” and those were the two disciplines with the most problems.

Dr. Blob, the skeptics understand the science very well. I keep posting links to peer-reviewed science by skeptics. Have you bothered to read any of it? Or do you just read RealClimate to find out what to think about it? You need to realize that RealClimate does not accurately represent the views of skeptics and they will not allow skeptics to voice their objections on the website. Read ClimateAudit.org if you want to know both sides of the issue. Or if you want to continue to be deceived, just stick with RealClimate.
Dr. Jello, I understand what you are saying. I just want people to know that RealClimate is run by political communications professionals. They do not accurately portray the positions of skeptics and then censor out any comments to correct the misinformation. This is not a site where people can expect to get a full debate on the scientific issues.
Dr. Blob, it does not sound like you are really open to the possibility RealClimate is not telling you the truth. But if you are willing to look into the issue, read the NAS panel report about the Hockey Stick.

http://books.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11676

Mann claimed 20th century temps were the warmest in 2,000 years. What does the NAS report say?

Mann claimed his proxies were valid and provided a robust result. What does the NAS panel say about the strip bark bristlecone pine series?

RealClimate will tell you the NAS panel sided with Mann over McIntyre. Not true. Gerald North who led the NAS panel said his panel “roughly agreed” with the findings of The Wegman Report.

Here is the Fact Sheet and Report by Wegman.

After reading this, how can you ever trust anything RealClimate says?


It’s a question that is often asked in my circle so I’m putting out here to you guys

Hey didn’t you people here say Penn was FIRED? Apparently he just resigned. And Hillary’s campaign says he’ll still advise them!???? So they don’t care that much?

He will still advise….after he was basically found to negotiate a free-trade deal with Colombia, directly contradicting Hillary’s anti-NAFTA position?

cnn:
“WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Hillary Clinton’s chief presidential campaign strategist is quitting his post amid criticism of his public relations firm’s contacts with the Colombian government over a pending free-trade deal, Clinton’s campaign announced.

Mark Penn and his political consulting firm will continue to advise the New York senator’s Democratic presidential bid, but Penn will give up his job as chief strategist, campaign manager Maggie Williams said.”

WOW! So he basically just changes..titles? That’s it?
