PR or Not PR: That is The Question

When I try to explain what I am aspiring to do with my life, it's sometimes difficult. Not having a clear-cut goal is the first problem. I know I don't want to be a doctor or an astronaut. Check.

The second problem is that the world of public relations in particular is sometimes hard to pinpoint in a sea of communication. There is a difference between the publicity-seeking events of certain marketers called "PR stunts" and true public relations. I hope that my profession is more than a fat guy in a leotard doing the "Single Ladies" dance. Because, while that certainly is something that will get your attention, is that something to be proud of?



That is me on the left. I can also check dancer off the list of future professions.
