I have been brought up to believe that I can do anything that I set my mind to. So, for me that means if a guy can do it than so can I. When I learned that the PR profession was women dominated I was a little relived knowing that the women before me have proved themselves and sequed a way for people to follow them. But in some aspects it is kind of intimidating know that I will have to compete with thousands of women for a position, because lets face it, women are ruthless. Even though this career is dominated by women there is still the case of the glass ceiling. I feel like we as a society should have already reached a point at which this should not be an issue. Especially as a managerial job, as PR is, if so, someone has the same qualifications and performs the same work, no matter if your a man or woman, you should get paid the same.
After reading the Livingston Communication blog on this issue…I see that even though the profession is 90 percent women, much of the upper managment positions are still dominated by men. I wonder with my generation (the y generation) more and more women graduating from college and continuing their education there will be a break down of this ceiling.
