What Do You Love About Your Job?

For college students, summer is a time for exploration and new adventure (or maybe simply a time for more of these activities depending on the student). While my friends elected to visit Spain and Ireland this summer, I choose a very different adventure: working full-time. I often hear friends say college is their full-time job, but I would argue that if your earliest class is 10:00 and a ten page (double spaced) paper is the biggest stress in your life, your “job” ain’t bad.

In my opinion, one of the biggest reasons college students have a difficult time swallowing the job pill is that they usually have little experience in the workforce prior to graduation. My internship at Frause not only is preparing me for a future career in public relations, it affords a glimpse into the full-time work world most students only come to know once they graduate. So far my adventure’s been great.

Although public relations has been ranked the second most stressful job in the U.S. by CareerCast, Frause is no nine-to-five grind. True, the work can be challenging, but Frause’s office is filled with brilliant people equipped to tackle challenges through teamwork and effective strategy. And with jobs in the public relations field expected to grow 24 percent between now and 2018, U.S. News has also bestowed this field with the honor of being one of the 50 best careers to have.

This week, I solicited the help of Frause’s seasoned veterans to tell me why they love Public Relations and working at Frause. As you can see below, their answers echo the “work hard, play hard” mentality Frause is known for.
