Last week, a girl had the audacity to criticize careers in advertising. She told me that, as someone deeply motivated by education and social justice, I should use my passion and talents to do something better with my life than "teach people to buy more things." Now, I could take the high road and write off her comments as ignorant, mock her with my marketing buddies. But I have a feeling there are a few other misinformed souls out there who could stand to be enlightened. Plus, I need to put this girl in her place.
