If you work in pure marketing (like an ad agency) you also don't generally get to pick what it is you're selling. You pitch to everyone and sell services to the highest bidder. Sometimes you get lucky but most of the time you don't.

"Oh no my boss said I have to advertise these cigarettes and I don't have a choice because... I work for this agency" Just walk out of the office and go find an honest job. A conscripted soldier might be said to have no choice, but mercenaries do. Marketers do. They chose the money.

If marketers are mercenaries, what does that make Google and Facebook, who wouldn't even exist without their money-spinning ad products? The Axis of Evil?
