Every industry needs writers. If you’re a writer, you can find something somewhere. If you don’t want to write, think of the skills writers possess and gain in advertising— research, conceptual thinking, organization, etc., and apply to jobs where those skill sets are paramount.

for example, you may consider looking at: digital content strategist, AI content strategist, creative strategist, cx (customer experience) strategist, etc.

a copywriter can easily obtain these gigs since they primarily focus on the copy and structure of content, but you'll be focused on the ux realm, just fyi
