In Reply To: I am a senior at a small liberal arts school. I am an English major with two minors in Business and American Studies. I've held internships in the advertising industry but I don't really think I want to go into advertising anymore. I was wondering what areas of PR would be suitable for a person like myself.
Message: you can do lots of things in PR - most agencies have different areas you can specialize in, from health care PR to high tech PR. Some agencies rotate you across a variety of clients so that you can see what you like. There's entertainment PR and crisis management as well. If you don't specifically want to work for an agency, you can also try political PR on a local level or on Capital Hill.
