I have a degree in Public Relations and no experience, but I want to make a career switch from public education.
Hi, I (26F) have two bachelor degrees, one in Sociology and one in Public Relations. Unfortunately, I focused mostly on my Sociology degree and my goal was to work in public education. 5 years into working in education and I am discovering I absolutely hate it. Loathe it. I wanted to switch over to working in PR for a while but my lack of experience besides one year of being a Director of PR for an organization while I was in college makes me me feel inexperienced and under qualified. I don’t doubt my ability to adapt, learn, and excel at a job in the field, I just get nervous that I won’t get given the chance to. I don’t know what job I can apply for that would allow me to still afford to live comfortably that also doesn’t require exceptional experience in PR. I’m also not necessarily interested in Social Media Management. Every internship I’ve looked into is looking only for college aged students. I live in NYC, does anyone have any advice?
