Hello forum.
I'm trying to land a job in the advertising industry as a copywriter. Since ad agencies are all about creative problem solving, I thought it wouldn't be a bad place to work to gain capital for my fastlane business.
PROS: This is essentially the "idea" business . You get paid to solve business and consumer needs with creative new ideas and messages.
PROS: Agencies are filled with motivated and interesting people. I can't remember the last time I visited one and not left completely inspired.
PROS: I get to do what I love ( writing/ selling people shit).
CONS: it's a very difficult industry to break into. A breathtaking portfolio is required just for an internship.
CONS: long hours and mediocre pay in the beginning, ( I'm living in Minneapolis though, so the work life balance is a cakewalk compared to New York.
Sorry for the ramble.
In short, what do you guys think of this transitional plan from Slowlane to Fastlane? Good idea, bad idea? HORRIBLE IDEA? Help!
