Since junior year of high school, I decided that when I “grow up” I want my profession to be something that I will enjoy and look forward to doing every day. When I was younger I wanted to be a lawyer but all the reading associated with that job made me realize I would not like it very much. One day I was told to name a few things that made me happy, those three things were people, music and Walt Disney World.  Bewildered at what I could possibly have as a profession, I decided to explore what profession would include one or two of the things that make me happy in life. That’s when I stumbled upon Public Relations.

Public Relations is a job that offers a wide range of opportunities. For just about every business there is a PR for it, also known as communications/promotion. My dream is to work in PR for a musician, record label or some affiliated music company. I would love to promote music. If a person has what it takes to become the next Elvis it is up to a PR agency to make their career happen and get their name out there. This makes a job so much fun, booking concerts, parties, TV/Radio appearances. It becomes your job to make sure that this person’s name is put out there and in the end of this musician has what it takes to be liked by the public eye a PR person will know that their job was done well by getting this person to where they need to be to become successful.

If I could get one job when I get out of college it would be to work with the Lizzie Grubman Public Relations group. Her company is based out of New York City and promotes big names such as Britney Spears, N sync, Ja Rule, hot spot clubs, bars, and restaurants in NYC, MAC cosmetics, and so many other big name places. To have a job with this company is any one who aspires to have a job in entertainment PR’s dream.

            I know that a job at such a place is extremely selective, so I considered hopefully working for a job with some assorted affiliation with Walt Disney World, a job big or small. If none of these two types of positions worked out I would push for a job working for promotion with radio stations. Therefore I would still be involved with communications in the music business. I can see spending the rest of my life being a “people person” in this industry.

When it came time to pick where I want to go to college I learned that the University of Florida is top in the nation for its college in Journalism and Communications.  So my dream and goal right now starts here in Gainesville where I hope to attend the University of Florida. I hope that this will be the road to my success in Public Relations.
