Ugh!

Organization? Or Organisation?

I'm such a stickler when it comes to grammar, punctuation, and most of all SPELLING! But, I have seen so many people spell this word with an 's' .... and I'm almost certain it's a 'z' .... I might lose sleep over this.

What does the Princeton Review know about PR anyway?!

Gah.. It's been awhile since I have been on here. But with the overwhelming-ness (word?no?) of school, work, and my new j-o-b at the Torch, I have been excruciatingly busy..

Anyway, I read a blog about the Princeton Review (not affiliated with thee Princeton) and their claim that colleges should not have degrees specializing in Public Relations... waaahhaaaawhat??

Yes. Colleges do. And not only should more colleges offer PR as a major, but it belongs in the business-area of things, not communication. I have undoubtedly learned SO much at Ferris (not necessarily a school with a high background in things but golf, construction mgmt., and whatever else), but PR is an area of work that needs specializing.

I don't disagree that PR is majorly concerned with marketing and sales techniques, but there are things taught in PR courses at Ferris, that my marketing classes have gone no where near.

PR IS IMPORTANT. It is a sad thing that so many people have given PR a bad name. Notice I didn't say organizations.

I put the blame for spin on the people who NEVER HAD A PR COURSE IN COLLEGE.
