PUBLIC RELATIONS RANKED #2 MOST STRESSFUL JOB IN AMERICA

PR is the #2 most stressful job in America according to CNBC....caught my attention! Although, I'd have to argue that the pros certainly outweigh the cons. Public relations is an exciting, rewarding, challenging and FUN profession! Something new every single day, hobnobbing with celebs, chumming it up with media personalities, planning and attending glamorous parties, and securing major media placements are just a few of the reasons PR is a fabulous career. Is it difficult at times? Of course! But nothing in life is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort and difficulty, right? Take a look at why PR was ranked #2: 

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.
