If you can’t answer that yourself then go find a new job. This question reeks of privilege and limited life experiences. Go bus tables or pour concrete for two weeks, I’m sure you will enjoy sitting in front of your computer and solving client requests for a nice paycheck much more.

It’s not privileged to be in constant fear of layoffs and potential obsolescence. I say this as someone who worked in the service industry for 15 years. It’s a valid question.

The answer is if you get joy out of it and are ok with the money. If either of those things fall short then it’s probably time to pivot.

Oh, crap, it’s both.

If this isn’t it for you, get out. Life’s too short.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
