    PR is creating a particular image to the public. They would influence the dialoge between the firm and the public. They may be the ones who would organize charitable efforts or any sort of goodwill within a firm. I think it would be a great career path.

    Public Relations is simply put as the people who represent an organization, or individual, in the eye of the public. They are the ones who answer to the media, especially when there are times on controversy involving the code of ethics and how an organization or individual reacted to the situation. You will be the one “covering someones butt” to make them seem like they did the right thing. And yes, I personally think it would be a good career choice. I am not sure what kind of schooling is involved, but I am sure that you would cover courses involving Business Ethics, Law courses, writing and speech courses, since that is what you would be doing. Hope that helps :-)
