A counter-anecdote: I went into the advertising field neutral to the profession, and the more I learned about it the more I disliked it, to the point of disdain

A counter-anecdote: I went into the advertising field neutral to the profession, and the more I learned about it the more I disliked it, to the point of disdain. Leaving the industry was the best career choice I've ever made. It's an abusive industry that somehow manages to be very self-congratulatory. The saddest part of this for me is that there are some incredibly talented people wasting all their energy making ads for oil companies and health insurers. Though, I suppose that happens everywhere... everyone needs to make a buck.
