Terny C.: What are some careers available with a bachelors in public relations?
I’m a public relations major but I’m really unsure of what I could do with a bachelors in this field. I love fashion but I also wouldn’t mind working in the medical field. Any careers in public relations where I could work in either field would be awesome!
