Study: PR manager is the seventh most ‘overrated’ job
It’s stressful and the field is crowded, says the study’s authors. Meanwhile, No. 1 on this dubious list is advertising executive.
That’s what the jobs website CareerCast.com is saying in its recent study that ranks the 12 most overrated careers.

The median salary, it noted, is $92,156, with projected growth of 21 percent.
