I wish someone would have told that despite the fact that I have a Master's Degree and over nine years of experience in this industry that somehow my job would be one of the first ones to be replaced by a robot (a.k.a AI). No, I probably would not have wasted all of that time building a career in advertising to just be replaced so easily.
I suppose if someone had warned me how exasperating it could be at times with people wanting to revise things, or having way too many people having to sign off on things, I might have had second thoughts. But, I assume people in other fields have similar issues. There are times I dread the next day at work because I don't feel like dealing with a bunch of frustrating stuff, but it might be the same if I was doing something less interesting. So I get over it.
