I got carried away, I admit. As for women in PR, I am also interested in why, but it would be quite difficult to determine that in Czech, because there are not many study programmes allowing the study of PR per se. Richard,

Good point with comparing apples and oranges. I got carried away, I admit.

As for women in PR, I am also interested in why, but it would be quite difficult to determine that in Czech, because there are not many study programmes allowing the study of PR per se.

(This is mischievous, but I ask my first year students to name the profession of Britain's worst ever serial killer. They think for a moment, but usually do come up with Harold Shipman who was a general practitioner - a family doctor.) Public relations is a part of management - and area that is also only semi-professional. The question that interests me is not why PR has a poor name, but why it's held in such high regard by so many young women choosing degree courses.
