Billing...  by  Legality
Attorneys are worse, you get billed loads of cash for just an A4 page into a local number...total rip-off.

Agency environment
I was part of an agency for 6 years and really enjoyed it. I left to explore the corporate world of PR. I am now at a corporate and not enjoying it for various reasons - PR is not taken seriously and there is no team spirit amoung other concerns. To learn true PR and to be surrounded by professional PR people is the best way to learn... very few corporate environments can teach you the same detail as an agency. You just have to find the right one!

Blinded by Theory
In my 2nd year of Public Relations Management course, I hit a 'Yield' in this path we walk called life - I wondered if I wanted to really study PR. It was for the very reason that you mentioned that I wondered if public relations management was the career I should persue. I am a down-to-earth, no-frills type of girl. I didnt want to have to fake professionalism to get an account, or dress in suites every day to convey that I take my job seriously. I continue to persue a career in public relations as I believe that, aside from following the principles, it is a sector where you can make it your own - your own image, your own creativeness, your own relationships!!! At the end of the day, will a PRP follow morals or do anything to get to the top?
