What I Have In Store, Career-wise
CNBC compiled a list of the 10 Most Stressful Jobs. Ranking at #2 on the list is the position of a public relations executive:
2. Public Relations Executive
Stress score: 47.60
Average annual salary: $101,850
Hours per day: 9
Public relations executives are “completely at the mercy of their clients and buyers,” says Tony Lee, noting that their success or failure depends on the actions and decisions of clients, creating a stressful situation because their performance is in many ways out of their hands.
They also bear the burden of being connected constantly to social media while also managing small details of several campaigns at once.
It’s good to know what I have to look forward to if my career path does leads me down the road of corporate PR :P
