I am in advertising.

• cperciva 17y ago
  Roughly a decade ago, I had the good fortune to be present at the retirement party of my university's Dean of Business. In the requisite speech, he commented that the hardest term of teaching he ever had was when he had to go from teaching "Ethics and Corporate Responsibility" to "Introduction to Marketing" with only a 10 minute gap in between. That said, I don't believe that working in advertising gives you a free pass to act dishonestly. Advertising should be about making people aware of a good product -- not deceiving them about your product's quality.

    Theory is one thing, practice another. I arrived at this after repeated trial and error; most big advertisers will not talk to a little guy no matter what. I do this just to crack the corporate shell and reach someone, after that we're on first name basis.
