Sure--our profession has some negative types, but I really do think that we're uniquely positioned to build trust as well. I occasionally joke about "selling your soul" to work in PR, but the truth is that most of the PR professionals I know are committed to the truth and passionate about what they do. If those people thought going into PR meant lying to people--well, they obviously didn't understand you or PR, at least the kind we learned. I really believe it.

It was always frustrating to me in college when my friends would give me a hard time about going into a field that was designed to lie to people. To me, that said they had a negative opinion of me personally, to think I would actively choose a field that was honestly inherently evil. I like the way you've said this.
