Would you have still gone into advertising knowing what you know now? Are awards and accolades worth it?

Yes I would’ve gone into it, but also I’ve never chased the awards and accolades. I’m here to get paid as much as I can in exchange for as few hours of my time as possible, and writing is the talent of mine that people seem to be willing to pay the most money for.

I will happily retire without a single award or accolade if I get to retire comfortably, healthfully, and surrounded by a large and happy family.

I got into the business at the prospect of having my ideas brought to life. The notion of winning an award never entered my mind. Are you by chance the product of a portfolio school?

Yikes. You guys are so pessimistic… I mean come on, we get to think big, work with incredibly talented people, and make things that the world sees. No, this industry is not perfect, but I genuinely think in the grand scheme of things I’m lucky to walk into a job every day where I get to solve different challenges creatively. Sure beats making cold calls.

I’ve thought about this a lot and I can’t think of another viable path (for me and my personality/skillset personally) in which I would have made as comfortable of a life for myself while also getting to actually be creative and do cool things occasionally. This business can be so so shitty. And times have never been scarier. But I can’t fathom a backup plan for myself that doesn’t come with either a huge pay cut or doing something so boring it’d hurt my soul and also much of the same job safety fears we’re all experiencing right now.

Yes, still way better than a normal 9-5 for me. We get to do cool things, work as a creative and get paid for it. A lot of people can just dream to do what we do. I was working a normal corporate job before and I will never go back. I’ll take the hard of advertising any day than make cold calls & fill excel sheets. At least I get to be proud of what I do and make.
