Public Relations Managers

You can explore this field by doing promotional work for a school club or participating in other activities that catch your interest. For example, you can write a press release about an upcoming fund-raising activity sponsored by the student council and send it out to the local media. Have the school photography club take pictures of the event as well. Finally, send a report about the fund-raising project's success, along with photos or video footage, to the local newspaper, town news bulletin, district Web site, or local cable channel.

You can also explore this career by developing your managerial skills in general. Whether you're involved in drama, sports, school publications, or a part-time job, there are managerial duties associated with any organized activity. These can involve planning, scheduling, managing other workers or volunteers, fund-raising, or budgeting.
