Miami ad school vs VCU Brandcenter... For aspiring strategists.

VCU is quite the money investment. Miami ad school isn't better in terms of what you'd learn but strat boot camp is less than 6k and you might be able to get your current agency to pay a slice of that. Overall though I'd say there are a lot of free resources out there, for learning strategy on YouTube or networking. I'd try those avenues first.

Thanks for the input!

More so, I'm trying to get agencies to see that I'm oriented towards strategy so I can get my first strategy job. I keep getting dismissed with the AE background despite 1.5 years of applying to jobs in the strategy area. I'm trying to do what I can / what I can control.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

I’m one of the only attorneys in my Texas firm that had electricity, internet, and water this week.

I just want to know, I’m not the only one that struggled this week to do any work, right?
