okay, Im trying to figure out what I’m supposed to major in. I heard that if I major in marketing i can have a better opportunity in getting a job other than majoring in communications.. I’m trying to work within my firm in their client relations department but have no idea on what to major in or what! I’m so lost! I know that I want to work in planning. like media planning or event planning within my firm. can someone please help me?!
I recently was laid off from my position with a public relations company & I’m having the hardest time finding a new position. I have only been out of school for about a year (michigan state university grad) & I have my B.A. in communications/public relations. Just wondering if maybe I should go back to school & try a new trade; what’s the use of having a degree if I can’t use it right?
Now that I have a Bachelors I’m thinking about going back into the Army as an Officer, and going into Public Relations. I don’t want to be stationed in some small hick town again.
So where are Public Relations Officers stationed. And what are some Officer Jobs in which I can be stationed in a big city. I’ll work at a MEPS if I have to, I just **** small towns.
I graduated a little over a year ago from Texas State University in San Marcos with a degree in public relations. Now I find myself wondering if I could have chosen a worse major. I have looked for a job for about 5 months now. Initially public relations firms were the only places I applied to. However, I have since applied to a myriad of other companies in different fields. I was in the nat’l honor society and I received my eagle scout rank in high school, but since that time the only thing I can work with might be my collegiate 3.1 GPA. How might I win employers over with my resume then? I could never get an internship when I was in college. Is there a secret in the cover letter? I have one last question. I am looking for jobs in the San Antonio/Austin area. Monster and careerbuilder are jokes, so what might be another way to discover reputable businesses that are hiring. Sorry for this lengthy post, but I just want to make myself clear. Can anyone be of assistance?
I’m not sure if what I want to do falls under marketing, public relations, advertising.. I’m not sure if it’s “branding” but I’d like to work on creating images for businesses, designing and planning the face of businesses, creating the feel they give off. I’m looking into Master’s programs but I’m not sure what would be the best way to go. Anyone in the field have any idea what I’m talking about?
What major should I choose now & the majors I should choose once I transfer to a University? Or is it best to just get my A.A in something…then go to a 4 year school? ….I did research on Public Relations Specialist and it said I should Take either…1. Journalism, 2. Public Relations, 3. Communication, and 4. Marketing…. But I don’t think the school I chose offers all of those. The only two I see that’s close is “Journalism & Print Media” or “Speech Communication” or should I look for something Totally different??
By The Way …I was Looking At Kingsborough or BMCC (I didn’t even see journalism in this school, so I’m leaning more toward Kingsborough) …I live in NYC….So if any of you know any better Community Colleges in my area that offers the courses I need…feel free to let me know…Thanx In Advance 
I keep hearing that it’s really expensive now to go to grad school. I really want to go but I don’t want to be in debt even more and if it’s not going to help my career much I don’t want to go yet. Would it benefit me within the public relation career to go to grad school? or should I just **** it up and try and get a job at a firm (maybe) after graduation?
