Public Relations vs Journalism Major

<p>Hey guys...I am really interested in both, but can't decide which one to do.</p>

<p>Opinions?
Comments?
Suggestions?</p>

<p>I eventually want to go into Law, so neither degree would be my career path. </p>

<p>Which would be best for such a path? And, which would give me the most opportunities?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Definitely journalism. You will learn to write quickly, well and within a very tight deadline. These skills are invaluable and unlikely to be honed as a PR major. (By the way, many PR people are former journalists.) As a journalism major you will also work more on analysis of text, interviewing, and arguing your case (something you need to do while ‘pitching’ a story.) These skills will serve you very, very well as an attorney if that is a path you eventually take.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot katliamom! You’ve been a great help!</p>

<p>That is what I originally was leaning towards, but I couldn’t decide :)</p>
