Final Project - Sophie Newman

I have thought about this project, but I have not come up with a concrete person of who I plan to interview yet, although I have a few ideas.  My mom works in politics and has many colleagues in the public relations field.  I have not yet contacted someone yet, but I hope to do a phone interview with someone working in this field.  I want to ask them what exactly they do, and what type of hours they work.  I am concerned that I could not handle some types of journalism majors because of the fast paced lifestyle.  I also plan to ask them questions regarding how they found their job, and what pathways they took to get there, during college as well as post college.  I believe this will be helpful as I am planning on majoring in Strategic Communications through the Journalism school, and would love to learn more about it.  If this does not work out I plan to contact a professor of Strategic Communications here at Mizzou and set up an interview.  I am fascinated by this public relations and advertising sequence, although I am not exactly sure what type of career it could result in.  I think this project will be especially useful in helping me to see what type of profession I could possibly end up in.
