I apologize if I’m not posting this in the right spot—I’m new to this forum and just looking for some help. I am a college undergrad graduating in May and right now, my only career goal is to become a PAO someday. I know that it’s incredibly competitive, so I’m wondering if I should jump right into my master’s after undergrad. Right now, I’m majoring in journalism/mass communication with a 3.92 GPA and I’ll also be getting honors in the major (I’m also majoring in economics—honors in that major too, as well as university honors—and double minoring in Spanish and translation, but those are less relevant). When I graduate, I’ll have a year’s experience working as a TV reporter, a year’s experience being a PR and comms/media intern and three year’s experience being an editor/copyeditor/secretary for a literary journal (I also have professional experience outside of those things—serving, sales, etc., but again, not so relevant). Basically, I’ve been working hard throughout undergrad but everything I’ve read leads me to believe it won’t be enough on its own. Should I pursue my master’s?
