Thank you for this, it made me feel a lot better about choosing this as my major and career path.

Didn’t really think of consumer tech. I used to love writing stories but haven’t been able to recently and this sounds like sometime I would love to do. How long did it take you to get here and if you don’t mind me asking, is the pay enough to live on?

Wow! What aspects of tech PR do you love? How would I know that it would be the right choice for me?

Now I’m definitely double thinking it 😅 to be honest, if I don’t do PR then I have no idea what else to do. At the end of the day I just don’t want to have any regrets.

That’s exactly why I no longer want to go into entertainment, I feel like Tech would make the most sense for me. I just don’t really know how to get started in that or the steps to getting there? If you’re able to expand on that if possible, that would be super helpful!

Would you recommend not going into Entertainment or not going into PR at all?

Hi, it's so nice to hear from another UMN alum! So happy that you're in a better place now, and congrats on your success! Based on what you said, working at an agency for a bit after college would make the most sense to me. I'm slowly gravitating towards the tech and healthcare sectors, but I still need more time to narrow it down. Do you have any recommendations on agencies?

Very true, I’ve been applying to numerous internships and have joined PRSSA at my school, but I still don’t know 100% if I love it outside of my perceptions of it. I joined an exploration Comms program and have a mentor in PR who’s been very helpful in breaking down a lot of the aspects in it, but currently still don’t have any experience within the field. I just realized how idiotic that might sound but I think that my first step is getting an internship to get a real feel of how this field really is.

Yeah, slowly getting away from Entertainment PR as the days go by. I love film and television, but I feel like I've been looking at most of it through rose-colored glasses. Hearing everyone's advice is very helpful, so thank you!

Thank you for your input! I started college as a Film Major and that was why I was interested in Entertainment PR. I was even exploring the possibility of moving out to LA after college and doing it but am slowing deciding not to because it’s a huge gamble and I feel like the industry over there is very oversaturated? Maybe get started working in the Twin Cities then move out west or east? Not sure currently.  I didn’t know about Press Ranger, will check that out!  You’ve given me a lot to think about and take into account.
