@@lovingpeepsxoxo985 Hey girlie! Congrats- It's awesome that got accepted into your dream school! Idk how old you are but with age and being a college student myself who's very much interested in fine arts (film and dance) I really think you should consider majoring in something that will generate income and will get you a good-high paying job right after you graduate. You can minor in your passion of Film or A.A studies. I'm only saying this because college CAN be a scam sis and there's propaganda to "follow your passion" but that's BS. this is what your advisors don't tell you. do yourself a favor and take my advice. Also, if you or anyone who's reading this wants to chat just @ me in your reply~

hi Joi! I was wondering if you think getting a master's in PR is a great idea? Right now I got admissions for my masters in comm studies, and I was wondering if I have a degree like that will it boost me higher in PR, or should I just go for a master's in PR.

@joiwade_ 4 жыл бұрын

I mean there’s a lot to consider... Does the job you are applying to require a masters degree or are you gonna be working in a position you could have gotten without the masters? What was your major in undergrad? If it was in business, communications or a related field then what are you going to gain? If it was in a completely unrelated field then maybe consider. From my understanding comm studies is more theory based and abstract. In PR you do more actionable projects that can build your portfolio.

@JuliaBoateng 4 жыл бұрын

Joi Wade so I did get a job working as an advisor for this non profit. I’ll be writing articles, doing some graphic design and video, and handling social media. So I don’t really need a masters for that but I think I eventually want to branch out into PR. I’m also graduating in May with a BS in psychology. I was thinking doing PR internships while I’m in my comm studies program will help me have well rounded experience..

@joiwade_ 4 жыл бұрын

I mean if you want to continue school then do that--if you'd rather not do more school then just apply for jobs in PR and start working. There aren't really any industry requirements other than experience (which you are getting at your nonprofit).
