I could make more money working somewhere else.

I've freelanced for realestate developers and felt filthy afterwards.
I've written for advertising companies selling straight lies to people because I needed a paycheque.
I've blogged for companies who treat their employees like disposable cogs because I needed food.

I sell safety now, and I can point to figures that show that investing in safety for your workers is just straight good business.

My long point is: there's a lot of distinction to be made inside of advertising, marketing, and sales.

There is room in the space for ethical behavior in advertising and marketing, and there are ethical people inside that industry. The giants make it bad for the few of us trying not to be shit, and I have to use their tools to survive.

But Prometheus stole fire from the gods, and now they're all fuckin dead so you know what there's hope after all.
