With all the highs and lows, I still can’t imagine myself being in any other industry or job. I’m passionate about creativity and big ideas and i love that I’m able to use those muscles everyday, if that answers your question. 🤙🏼
If my loved one was creative, strong-willed, passionate, willing to die for an idea, or maybe willing to die to just have one good idea, I would absolutely recommend it.
If they weren’t, I still would recommend it.
This industry has taught me that my “weird” is perfect the way it is. And there are people out there who will “get” your weird and even BUY your weird. And they’ll sit next to you at 3am and laugh about how weird everything is. Because Life is weird. Might as well have job that pays you to be weird.
All jobs have cons. And even though the hours can be long, the reward is worth the risk.
I could never sit behind a desk and clock in/out. I need space for this brain to do backflips. Sometimes, disappointingly, that space is an email, and sometimes that space is a few-million-dollars account.
No, most of my friends are too creative to wade through this swamp of mediocrity
No. Advertising well done is simply effective communication for sake of persuasion in the name of profit.
These skills could be effectively applied to much better causes in today’s world.
Unfortunately late-stage capitalism ensures we are always desperate for a paycheck and always striving for bigger and better “things”.
Thus, our own work perpetuates the perverse cycle.
yes.
I'd teach them everything I took too long to learn so they become more successful than me, start their own shop, then hire me

I’m not your loved one nor your friend, but we could be, and I’m willing to learn what you learned in your career.
Hell no. I may not actively hate it as much as I have at some points in my career, but I sure as shit don’t like it.
No, esp if you aren’t in creative. You can do the same job somewhere else and leave at 5 every day.
Not a chance in hell. What use to be a glamorous, fun industry has turned into a grim sweatshop.
What other industry discards it’s practitioners just when they reach the same age as the consumers they are meant to sell to, and have the most money to burn (40+)?!? It’s a dreadfully stupid and short sighted industry.
Understand your work values both intrinsic and extrinsic before you pick your path. Pick a career where they value experience. In advertising at a certain age it becomes very difficult.
No. So why do I stay? 🤔
Yea. It's not art, but it's fun.
I would. Done right, its an entree into the professional class without the burden of advanced degrees. It’s an honest way to make a living. It has many problems, and not everyone makes a career of it, but that’s just life. I think this industry will be around for a while, in one form or another
Depends- not everyone is built for it. Nor wants it. I made my decision in 10th grade after winning a state competition stoned with an elective college marketing class and never looked back.
@VP1 - You don’t really BELIEVE all that bullshit you just spewed? You really drank the KoolAid my friend .
