Yay or Nay...Master's in Public Relations?

[dapper d]

So I'm graduating in spring with a B.A. in English and journalism...
I still have a passion for writing...and journalism...but I'm realistic about the market...
So I was thinking about public realtions...

Is this one of those industries where experience is key...u can get in it with any type of degree...
Or can u really pick up some skills in graduate school...that will make u look better in the eye of employers...
Any insight

it is vital that you get an internship while you're in school

I just texted my sister (who works in public relations) this and asked and she said yes. She feels like their office gets like 20 resumes a day but that is agreat way to get yours on top of the stack. Also like DMan said, try to get an internship, experience is obviously a huge plus.
