Writers and Editors, Including Technical Writers Significant Points Most jobs require a college degree in the liberal arts communications, journalism, and English are preferred or a technical subject for technical writing positions. Competition is expected to be less for lower paying, entry-level jobs at small daily and weekly newspapers, trade publications, and radio and television broadcasting stations in small markets. Persons who fail to gain better paying jobs or earn enough as independent writers usually are able to transfer readily to communications-related jobs in other occupations.

Writers and Editors, Including Technical Writers Earnings Median annual earnings for writers and editors, including technical writers, were $36,480 in 1998. The middle 50 percent earned between $27,030 and $49,380 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $20,920 and the highest 10 percent earned over $76,660.

Public Relations Specialists Significant Points Employment of public relations specialists is expected to increase faster than average, while keen competition is expected for entry-level jobs. Opportunities should be best for college graduates who combine a degree in journalism, public relations, advertising, or other communications-related fields with public relations work experience.

Public Relations Specialists Earnings Median annual earnings for salaried public relations specialists were $34,550 in 1998. The middle 50 percent earned between $26,430 and $46,330. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $21,050, and the top 10 percent earned more than $71,360.

Advertising, Marketing, and Public Relations Managers Significant Points Employment is projected to increase rapidly, but competition for jobs is expected to be intense. Advertising, marketing, and public relations managers have high earnings, but substantial travel and long hours, including evenings and weekends, are common. A college degree with almost any major is suitable for entering this occupation, but most people enter these jobs after acquiring experience in related positions.

Advertising, Marketing, and Public Relations Managers Earnings Median annual earnings of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales managers in 1998 were $57,300. The middle 50 percent earned between $38,230 and $84,950 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $28,190 and the highest 10 percent earned more than $116,160 a year.
