I never even finished my degree and I’ve worked at top shops my entire career (title is not updated here). I’m not sure if degrees really have that much sway on whether or not a creative is, well, creative.

I do! But it hasn’t really helped me in advertising tbh.

Going back to formal school is about setting yourself up to “reboot”. So, you have to think about what you want to do after you get the degree - and is the degree actually going to give you a better chance. In all seriousness, what would you do with a Masters in today’s advertising/graphic design business that you can’t do already? Upskilling is one thing…a commitment to formal academic program is something else. Think hard about the real skills you will grow vs the realistic industry needs & the $$ cost.

smart

Please don’t

Oh, also: I have my Masters.

All VCU Brandcenter alums have master’s degrees

I have an MBA

Would $40 per day/night be reasonable?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
