My worst day in this business is still better than my best day working construction to pay for college

I dunno, I still look fondly on my days in landscaping when I was fourteen.

I worked on the client side before-as a creative- and while the work/life balance was great, the people and the work were borrring. I found ad people to be the funniest, sharpest, most interesting and more on top of culture than any other coworkers. They're just really my people. Creative but realistic about wanting steady income.
