    Choose the one that fascinates you most. There's nothing that says you can't be good at both.

    What's important to you about becoming a PR manager? Employed by who?

    As I read your self-described interests it strikes me that neither brand marketing nor digital marketing is likely to give you a lot of opportunity to meet and interact with people. If that's high on your list of requirements you might consider a career in sales.

    It took me a few years to find out what I really want to do, and what I wanna be, I've graduated architecture and felt really enthusiastic about it for the first 3-4 years, but as time went by, it became clearer and clearer that I don't love it. For God's sake, I couldn't keep an architecture job for more than a few months. I liked it, I was fairly good at it, yet looking where I would have been in a few years if I were to continue on that path just gave me a strange feeling of panic: "Is this it? I feel like I was meant for more".
    Since then the search of new prospects of development began. I've read more than 200 books about self development and whatever I could get my hands on, and the road of marketing brightened up more and more. I know now that I want to help people bring to the world the work that inspires them and I believe in the power of good marketing and branding.
    I've been working for more than 2.5 years now, doing what I love.
    Do find out what really motivates you besides the money. Here's a little video to get you started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVsXO9brK7M
    Check out Simon Sinek too.
    Good luck!
