Very often, communication and public relations are being viewed by the society in a negative perception, a career that does not have a bright future or not earning well compared to professional jobs like doctors, engineers, accountants, lawyers. The media plays a significant role in changing perception, conveying message to the public and as trasmitting social values powerfully to educate the people. The movies you watch, the music you have been listening too through the radio, the magazines and newspapers you been reading are all media. Communication is about transforming a half-bitten apple into a world icon, turning and eccentric idea to a business success and the list goes on. We are being influence by the media daily without even knowing it. Without communication, life would be liveless. As a communication student, I'm proud to be one.
I believe every occupation plays an important role in shaping the world.
The world needs doctors to cure the sick.
The world need leaders who cares about the people, justice and human rights.
The world needs marketers and advertisers to satisfy the needs and wants of the consumers.
The world needs engineers to build the home we live in and the road we travel on.
The world needs media practitioners to convey a persuasive message or communication.
The world needs journalists to inform the news and educate the society.
The world needs lawyers to uphold justice and human rights.
Even a rubbish collector and a sweeper is important to keep the city clean.
Therefore, it is important to know that our career path is driven not only for the high salary but driven by passion and service to the nation. We need to start learning to respect and appreciate the jobs of people from different walks of life. Every occupation no matter is big or small, plays a role in the society. We just need to realise there's a purpose behind every occupation we are in.
