Last year I did a quarter working at the Observer covering baseball stories and interviewing athletes from around campus. At first I was excited, i got to go to baseball games for free, hangout with college athletes and just write sports. Well, that got old really fast.
After 3 weeks, i was getting annoyed at how difficult it was to get stories from interviews. Writing sports as fun but not enough to keep me entertained for a quarter. Toward the end of the quarter i was dreading it. Today, i looked at a story on PR Daily that talks about the best jobs in the US. and guess what profession came in dead last place?
Newspaper reporters.
Readership is moving to online outlets and not that many people read the newspaper anymore. This stat makes it hard on reporters to keep doing what they are doing.
PR professions did pretty well, falling into the top ranked jobs. "Social and community manager came in at No. 83, market research analyst was No. 95, social media manager was No. 101 and PR executive was No. 121."
I think i'll stick to PR.
