A new study by Careerbuilder.com just ranked the most caffeinated professions, and PR professional came in at #2, moving up seven spots from the previous rank of #8. Woo hoo! Oh... wait a sec... my kidneys may not be celebrating.
My kidneys and I united, however, in our pride in being second only to scientist/lab technician. That's awesome, because I was terrible at science in school. Kind of makes me feel like I'm a little more on par with those smarty pants. As an aside, Isn't that why we all go into journalism/PR? We can't do math or science?
I wasn't yet convinced, so I looked around my desk for proof and sure enough, there it was.
