Would it be weird to go back to being a full time copy supervisor or group copy supervisor after being a VP ACD? I disliked being an ACD and have been freelancing since I quit last year. I feel like these roles allow for more writing than internal politics and managing.

Not weird, and will happen to you anyway once you have more grey hair than not. Just know that your worth to the company changes, so expect that salary range ($135-$155K) to be your ceiling now. Can you afford that? I can't, so I have to freelance to make enough to cover the fiscal commitments I made when I was an ECD. I'm over 50. No one is hiring me to be an ECD again, or even an ACD. But I make CD money freelancing and can double dip easily because I don't go to meetings about staffing and strategy.

Are you doing this just as a freelancer? If so, what do you do for health insurance? Thank you for the advice!

If I pay off my liabilities then my credit history gets shot with young accounts. What's the best way to handle this?
