Most of the other stuff is learning theory and applying it, which you can do outside of a classroom if you're motivated. Remember that smart employers hire for attitude and train for skills. However, there has to be a base of good communication skills in this field. Good luck!

My favourite post was how to get hired in PR. I'm half-considering apply for PR positions - I'm unqualified but recently I ran a campaign in Australia to Save the Wave (they banned 'The Wave' at Australian cricket matches). It got massive national coverage, I did 40+ interviews including several television appearances. It also made the news in five other countries. This made me think.. I don't have the degree but how many job applicants have successfully managed to get on national tv pushing their message? (I did very well). I've known for a long time that I have the goods - I have done volunteer PR work and am 100% at getting my media releases into the media in some form or other. I just needed the ctredibility. Is this sort of thing enough? Hi Eric
