Super:

If you are looking for a career in either, I personally wouldn’t major in either. Ask to see the school’s placement rate.

For journalism, I would recommend a very strong liberal arts foundation. English, History, Political Science. Whatever you find attractive.

I am sure that others would disagree, but the core skill for journalism is writing. Look at the backgrounds of the people that write for the New York Times, Washington Post, etc.

I don’t know about public relations, but I would imagine that the same thing is true. Talk to someone doing it.
