Did you also know that as a communications or PR professional, you’ve developed skills that make you awesome at life in general? Perhaps you even have leg up above others who are, say, mathematicians or ping-pong champions.

1. The big L-word. You’re probably better at love, because a huge part of a successful relationship is strong communications with your partner.

You may also be really good at coming up with clever love poems and texts that sweep your partner off his or her feet.
