What can I do if I have severe creative differences with my CD? (I’m not ever really into the direction he gives me, and he’s never into any ideas that I bring forward that don’t feel bland and safe.)

Work under a different CD. At the end of the day, it’s their choice what work moves forward, and if you’re constantly on different pages, there’s no reason to think that will change

Check out the credits of some work that really resonates with you and that you love. Go after those CDs and learn from them

We all work under CDs that we aren’t on the same page with sooner or later. And often many times in our career. You just search for a different job and gut it out in the meantime

You try to get on the same page with your CD. I will just assume that he earned his title and you can probably learn a thing or two from him

I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.
If I were to apply this thinking to the creative side of the ad world, what's the answer? Pharma and B2B? Leave the industry?
