I'm a little late in posting this (sorry Erin) but a group of college students that are showing way more drive and initiative than I had at their age have created a new blog/resource called Forward-Moving. The site bills itself as:
the online springboard for new and upcoming PR professionals.So far there a number of great posts in the blog. I think that they might be selling themselves short since much of the material can also serve as a refresher for 'established' PR professionals.Our goal is to provide insight, answers and information to sharpen your perspective and help you go Forward in your career.
Perhaps as a side project we can track the career paths of the contributors, since they are all sure to be moving-up in the world.

Drive and initiative? Aw, I think we're just a whole generation of go-getters excited about embracing new technology and passionate about our profession. I like your terminology better, though. We'll go with that.
We do have contributors from outside our generation, too -- and outside the state of Alabama, for that matter! We recently signed on two contributing investors: Keith Pillow of Thomson, and Jeremy Pepper of Weber Shandwick. And we also have contributors from Chicago, Atlanta and Australia!
Thank you for your kind words -- we definitely appreciate the support.
