How common is it for public relations specialists to move from different organizations during their career?
A public relations specialist visited one of my classes to provide students a glimpse into his career life. One of the details I took notice was how much he moved from organization to organization after a few years.

Comment your own experiences and thoughts on this commonality in the career. #SJSU #public-relations #career-advice

Is journalism a dying breed?
I am a high school freshman and have always loved writing. I am currently involved with a journalism class in my high school where we produce on eight page newspaper every month. Starting in September 2016, I will be the new page editor for our Features page. My lust towards writing and journalism has grown vastly ever since I enrolled in this class and I know this is what I want to study in college and ultimately what I want to do with my life. My parents, on the other hand, are extremely skeptical about me wanting to pursue journalism in college. They believe that there is no money, let alone jobs available for aspiring journalists. They suggest that I go into a more practical field involving writing such as advertising or public relations. So... Is it true that if I study journalism in college there may not be a job for me after graduation? #journalism #advertising #author #writer #public-relations #youtube #online-journalism
I feel like I am stuck in the wrong major and how do I move forward?
I'm currently a sophomore in college pursuing Dietetics. I'm enrolled in Trigonometry, INTRO to chemistry, and I had to withdraw from Precalculus.

Also, part of me chose this career because I felt like it would please my parents and it would be beneficial. I've always loved public speaking and writing so my alternative major would be Public Relations. I just want some insight on how to move forward with this semester and advice if you were ever stuck in the wrong major. Thanks! #public-relations #college #college-advice

What kind of classes or internships would be helpful to take if I want to do PR in the music industry?
It took me a few years to find out what I wanted to study in college while I was at a community college, taking a lot of different classes to see what interests me the most. I really liked mass communication classes and found out about public relations and think it would be a fun career path. Music is also a big part of my life and I'm a fan of music and think I pay attention to the industry. My dream job would be doing PR for a music label or artists/groups because I will get a bit of each. Do you think it would be helpful to take some kind of music class (history of or business wise) to give me some of the skills and education I need to do well in this job. For internships, would a PR firm internship be better to start so I get the exposure of how to do PR in the real world or just try to go straight into the music field? Thanks for your time! #public-relations #music-industry #college #internships #music-recording
Does living and growing up in a cosmopolitan area affect an individual's creativity?
People are who are intelligent aren't necessarily intellectual. I read a piece by a professor at Swarthmore College about how intellectual people see links between ideas and theories. Also, the majority of people in my town are part of the "Creative Class." Does the rise of the creative class contribute to more cosmopolitan areas? #business #psychology #research #communications #economics #sociology #public-relations #public-speaking
