PR and advertising are in a contraction because of the weak economy. The tighter businesses get with their money, the harder it gets for dispensable services like PR and advertising. This stuff goes in cycles, so if you're really interested, give it time and the business cycle will rescue you.
On the other hand, why in the world would you want to go into advertising? You'd basically be selling Cheez Whiz for a living without any of the satisfaction of actually making the product. You'd also be working alongside some of the phoniest, most cut-throat sociopaths in the economy.

Dear, rcpl,
I have to agree with you as I have been freelancing for many yrs and I have found more weirdos than nice people, though I believe nice people are out there, I have not had the pleasure of meeting many.
I do love working with people and have worked with lots of personalities in the projects I worked on. Art can be fun and exciting and it can be a drag when you work with energy drainers.
I guess you have to just let them be who they are and be at your best on the project.
Theb.
